Where to reside for the London Marathon
Take a look at 5 of the very best holiday homes in our London collection. If these don’t meet your high expectations, then nothing will.
Pied Bull Court
Pied Bull Court, Plum Guide home in London
Click to book Pied Bull Court now: from £536 per night Enter into this elegant lower-floor apartment and leave the bustling city streets outside. It’s no mean feat to create a space of comfort and charm in the heart of Central London, but this pocket of opulence achieves just that. From the moment you step into the living space you’ll be taken to a bygone era of class and sophistication, with royal-red sofas, antique rugs, and dark wood furnishings. From a floor-to-ceiling library in the master bedroom, eloquent tones of gold and soft-pink, and plenty of ornate touches, this rustic tapestry is bursting with grandeur. It’s the perfect home for a romantic getaway in the thick of the Big Smoke, but without the noise of big city living. If you’re looking to soak up the culture and heritage of London, discovering Holborn’s plethora of museums – including the British Museum, it’s traditional pubs, bars and high-end restaurants – then you really couldn’t be better placed. Back after a long day wandering the city, you’ll get a great nights sleep, especially after a spot of bedtime reading, with nothing short of a bookshop collection to choose from. Sleeps up to 4 | 2 Bedrooms | 2 Bathrooms

Bronze Symphony
Bronze Symphony, Plum Guide home in London
Click to book Bronze Symphony now: from £3000 per night Set in between Harrods and Sloane Square, it's hard to imagine a home with a more glamorous location than this one. This prime Knightsbridge spot is the ideal base for luxury shopping trips or visiting London's world-famous museums – the V&A is just a twelve-minute stroll away. This is an especially large home spread over five floors, where you can enjoy getting lost in the grand, walk-in closet or sinking into the wood-paneled bath. Large groups or families who like lots of space will feel at home here, and there are some nice art deco touches in the main living space. There's also a home gym, where you can work up a sweat, but if it's all about entertaining for you then the elegant formal dining area, with its quilted chairs and dramatic skylight, will not disappoint.

Though this is a quieter neighbourhood, Shepherd's Bush isn't a far walk and has restaurants, a famous market and Westfield Shopping Centre for you to discover.
