Planning a girls’ weekend in London? Whether it’s a mini break, a birthday treat, or just a catch-up that’s long overdue, Pocket Apartments makes it easy to do it properly — no faff, no fuss, just a great base in two of London’s best neighbourhoods: Notting Hill and Kensington.

Here’s how to make the most of your weekend — and why our compact, well-designed apartments are a better choice than a cramped hotel room or a chaotic Airbnb.


🛏️ A Base That Actually Works

Let’s be honest — a good weekend starts with a decent place to stay. Our apartments are small but smart, with:
✔️ A comfy double bed
✔️ Clean, modern bathroom
✔️ Fully equipped kitchen *selected rooms*
✔️ Smart layout for lounging, chatting, getting ready
✔️ Fast Wi-Fi and a smart TV with Netflix, Amazon Prime, YouTube and more

They’re private, peaceful, and designed for short stays — so you can spread out a bit, pour a glass of wine, and actually enjoy being indoors too.


🎬 Girls’ Movie Night, Sorted

Staying in? Perfect. Pick up snacks, order pizza, and make the most of a proper movie night.
Each Pocket Apartment comes with a smart TV ready to stream all your favourites — no cables, no setup, just log in and go.

✨ Some movie night ideas:
🍿 A ‘90s or 2000s throwback marathon
🍿 Rom-com and wine
🍿 True crime + Deliveroo
🍿 Face masks and feel-good films


☕ Brunch, Boutiques & a Walk Through the Park

You’re based in Notting Hill or Kensington — two of the most loved areas in West London. That means everything you need is right outside:

  • 🛍️ Independent shops and boutiques

  • 🥐 Local bakeries and brunch spots

  • 🌳 Walks through Holland Park or Kensington Gardens

  • 🛒 Portobello Market for vintage finds and people-watching

If you want to explore further, the Tube is minutes away.


💄 Getting Ready Without the Chaos

Getting ready together is part of the fun — but not when there’s no space. Pocket Apartments give you room to spread out, with mirrors, lighting, and no awkward bathroom sharing with strangers. Play music, take your time, and actually enjoy the process.

Hot tip: Bring matching PJs and take over the mirror for group selfies. It’s the rules.


🗝️ Check In, Chill Out

There’s no reception desk, no meeting someone for keys — just self check-in with a key safe and clear instructions. It’s your space, on your schedule.

Late night in? No problem. Early start? Easy.


🗓️ Plan Your Pocket Weekend

Whether you’re travelling light, celebrating something, or just escaping for a couple of nights, Pocket Apartments give you the space, privacy and comfort you need — right in the heart of West London.
