Hi we are a family of 5 and spent a month in London last year. We had a fantastic apartment just off Oxford Street up near Tottenham Court Rd. We walked absolutely everywhere from that location even though it was the middle of winter. While the apartment was superb, I had to threaten legal action to get my bond back. The Irish owner of the property rental company has quite a reputation it would seem with telling people that she has already returned the bond. However, after some badgering we did get it back. I think we used London Property Rentals. The great thing about having an apartment is that you can save on food (eating out is pricey in London) and the apartments usually come with a washer/dryer. Maybe someone else can advise you on alternative bond options so that you don't lose anything in the event of a dishonest landlord. One thing to note is that PayPal doesn't protect you against anything to do with rental properties - I was under the impression that it does, but the "important" print clearly states that it does not. Have an amazing time, it is a wonderful city - my eight year old daughter plans to move there from Australia when she grows up!
