Rooms with a view of the royal wedding
This year’s royal wedding will turn the world’s spotlight on London – but if you want to go to the capital for April 29 you’ll need to book your accommodation now.
Let’s face it, hotel rooms are pricey and it’s not enjoyable eating breakfast with hundreds of tourists. Opt for self-catering accommodation and enjoy plenty of space, freedom and flexibility at a fraction of the cost of London hotels.
Kate Stinchcombe, from holidaylettings.co.uk, said: “Royal wedding fever has hit and this has been reflected in the high volumes of enquiries we are receiving. More than 17,000 requests for April holiday accommodation have been sent through holidaylettings.co.uk since the date of the wedding was announced. A quarter of these are for breaks in England, with London attracting the lion’s share. Homes in Tower Bridge, Covent Garden, Fitzrovia and Westminster lead the popularity stakes, followed by Greenwich and Bayswater.”
