Pocket Apartments

Whether you're a parent helping your child move into university, a student arriving a few days early to get settled, or you're simply visiting London before the new term begins, having somewhere comfortable to stay can make those first few days feel a lot easier. That's where Pocket Apartments comes in.

London really comes into its own in late summer. The days are still long, the parks are full of life, and the city's calendar is stacked with everything from huge headline concerts to street carnivals and underground dance parties.

There's a reason people fly in from all over the world just for this one weekend. Every August Bank Holiday, Notting Hill turns into a wall of sound and colour - steel drums bouncing off the terraced houses, feathered costumes moving down the street in waves, jerk chicken smoke curling out of every side road. If you've never been, no description quite prepares you for it. If you have, you already know why you're coming back.
