Here is our pick of the top 5 holiday homes. Make your choice and treat yourself to a luxury stay.

Click to book Smith Street now: from £677.82 per night You’ll feel like a Chelsea local here. This striking apartment can be found down a quiet street, in the heart of the action. The King’s Road, with its epic dining and shopping scene, is a short potter away. And Sloane Square tube station is within easy reach for any adventures further afield. On your way home, why not have a glass of wine at the excellent local pub just a few paces from your front door? Back at the apartment, details like the framed art on the walls and books on the shelves make for a pleasing, homely vibe. Big sash windows bring in a heavy dose of natural light. The olive green kitchen comes fully stocked with everything you need whether you’re here long or short term. Upstairs, that cosy atmosphere continues to the bedrooms, where there’s plenty of room for a gang of six. The real star of the show though, is the roll-top bath. An ideal spot after a day of exploring the city. Sleeps up to 6 | 3 Bedrooms | 3 Bathrooms

Click to book Zodiac Court now: from £700 per night From this traditionally-minded yet well-maintained Mayfair apartment, there's a little taste of luxury in every direction. To your east is Liberty department store and there are further designer shopping options to your north on Bond Street. Head south and in two minutes, you could be on Savile Row, while wandering further west along these embassy-lined streets will get you to Grosvenor Square. However, despite this unbeatable location, we found this home to be extremely peaceful and a welcome refuge from the non-stop going-ons of Central London. The chic kitchen was a highlight here, with smart brass finishes contrasting nicely with honeycomb marble tiling, but let's not kid ourselves — with this many renowned restaurants only a short stroll away, don't be surprised if this home's oven remains undisturbed during the duration of your stay. Sleeps up to 4 | 2 Bedrooms | 2 Bathrooms

Click to book The Silver Quay now: from £372 per night Housed in an impressive new skyscraper that forms part of the ever-expanding new buildings that are popping up in Canary Wharf, this is a space well suited for business travellers. Within, the feel of the home is minimalistic but high end, owing to a good use of space and high-quality furnishings. The home features an impressive suite of amenities, including air-conditioning, top of the range appliances and luxurious bathrooms, plus access to the building's impressive communal spaces. The furnished balcony space with incredible views was also an added bonus. Sleeps up to 6 | 3 Bedrooms | 2 Bathrooms

Click to book Speckled Blue now: from £112 per night Want to visit London, but prefer to be away from the hustle and bustle of city living? This home is the one for you. Tucked away by in a leafy, peaceful south-eastern neighbourhood, you’ll find the river Thames only a ten-minute walk away. Not only does the home have welcoming woodland views, but you even have the privacy of your own little courtyard to enjoy, too. Prepare to be charmed by the pretty interiors waiting for you as you step inside. A shaker style kitchen overlooks the open-plan living area and dining nook, so everyone can hang out and converse during meals. In the mornings, start the day by switching on the radio and stepping under the waterfall shower as your filter coffee brews away. In the evening, cosy up on the sofa for a movie night – or head out to explore all the food and nightlife this corner of London has to offer. Sleeps up to 3 | 1 Bedroom | 1 Bathroom

Click to book Silver Sunrise now: from £295 per night Furnished in a simple palette of white and silver, this contemporary home can accommodate a family or a group of friends with ease. The large open living area benefits from light-filled French doors that open onto leafy views of Southwark Park. The sweeping terrace and bedrooms provide a similar verdant outlook, giving this townhouse the feel of a country estate. The polished kitchen sports shiny appliances, making it easy to whip up meals for the whole crew (several grocery stores are also within a short walk). If you don’t feel like cooking, though, simply take your pick from the local restaurants and pubs. You can dine out by the Thames or wind down on your sofa with a take-away meal and your favourite show. Walk along the river for an evening stroll while the sun sets, and on weekends sample food at the nearby Maltby street. Should you want to explore the rest of London, there’s a handy underground station within a five-minute stroll and an overground within 10 minutes, making your stay primely located. Sleeps up to 6 | 3 Bedrooms | 2 Bathrooms
