Holiday & Leisure in London

Holiday Lets & Short Stays in Londonshort stay homes explained.

Our Holiday & Leisure stays in London are designed for guests who want more than a bed for the night. You get a complete private home with space to cook, unwind, sleep properly and enjoy the trip at your own pace. That makes AV Property a strong choice for weekend breaks, family holidays, wedding stays, event weekends, visiting relatives and relaxed short stays where comfort matters.

Each home is prepared before arrival with fresh linen, towels, toiletries, fast Wi-Fi, a smart TV, heating, kitchen essentials and clear check-in instructions. Guests can arrive without waiting for a reception desk, settle in quickly and use the property like a home from the first evening.

Holiday & Leisure accommodation works particularly well for families and groups because everyone can stay together. Instead of booking several hotel rooms, you can share one living space, prepare breakfast before heading out, put children to bed in separate rooms and enjoy a quieter, more flexible stay.

The kitchen is fully equipped for proper self-catering, with cookware, crockery, glassware, cutlery and appliances ready to use. Laundry facilities make longer leisure breaks easier, especially for families, guests travelling for events or anyone who prefers to pack light.

AV Property focuses on simple, reliable guest communication. Before arrival you receive the key information you need, and during the stay our team is available if you have a question or need help. The aim is a smooth holiday stay without uncertainty, hidden complications or poor support.

For SEO and guest clarity, this page is specifically about Holiday & Leisure accommodation in London: short-stay homes for relaxation, family trips, weekend visits and leisure travel, with the privacy of a home and the standards expected from professionally managed serviced accommodation.

FAQs

Holiday & Leisure in London — answered.

Can't see your question? WhatsApp our team on +44 7457 428261 — most replies under an hour.

What's the minimum stay for a holiday let in London?

Most homes accept stays from two nights, with three to four nights preferred over busy weekends, school holidays and major event dates. Message us if you only need a single night and we'll see what we can do.

Are your London holiday homes family and child friendly?

Yes — most properties include a travel cot and high chair on request, blackout blinds in bedrooms, stair gates where needed and child-safety basics throughout. Let us know ages on booking and we'll prep the home accordingly.

Can we bring a dog?

We have a selection of dog-friendly holiday homes with enclosed gardens, hard floors and walking routes from the door. Filter on the homes page or message the team and we'll point you to the right property and confirm any small pet fee.

How do we check in?

Self check-in via a smart-lock code or keysafe sent the day before arrival. No queueing at a desk, no waiting on a host — arrive any time after 4pm and let yourself in. Earlier arrivals are usually possible if the home is free.

Is parking included?

Most properties include free on-site driveway parking or unrestricted street parking right outside. Each listing notes the exact arrangement and any nearby paid options for second cars.

Can you recommend things to do in London?

Absolutely — every home has a curated welcome guide with our team's favourite restaurants, pubs, walks, beaches, attractions and family days out. Message us before you arrive and we'll send tailored picks for your group.

What is the minimum stay for a short break in London?

Usually two nights, or three across peak weekends and event dates in London. Midweek is where the best value sits.

Can I pay by invoice for a London stay?

Yes. Company, insurer and relocation-agent bookings can be set up on invoice terms — we accept purchase orders and issue VAT invoices. We will confirm the terms with you when we quote.

Is there parking at your London properties?

Most of our London homes have free on-site or on-street parking. Tell us what you are driving — a van or a pickup sometimes needs a specific property — and we will match you to one that works.

Can I extend a London booking once I am already in?

Usually yes, and you would stay in the same property rather than moving. Let us know as early as you can and we will hold the dates; longer stays move onto weekly or monthly rates.
