Superb Work and Play in London City Apartments

So the first thing to ask is, where do I need quick easy access to when I am working in London? And the second question is: what’s more conducive to working well while I’m there – London city apartments or a hotel?

The City of London is vaguely defined these days of course. In business terms it stretches beyond its old boundaries and now inhabits places like Shoreditch and Old Street as well as the Liverpool Street-Fleet Street-Grays Inn Fields axis it traditionally occupied. And you have to factor in the Docklands too, where a lot of international finance is conducted. So Shad Thames and Galleons Wharf might be places you need easy access to as well.

The ideal location for London city apartments, then, is one where you’ve got access to the DLR and can walk into the Liverpool Street and City area. There are plenty of bus stops and Tube stations all around that part of town too, naturally – but if you can walk it you’ll get there just as quick and much healthier too.

Working in the City is one thing. Playing there is quite another. The City itself is full of bars and restaurants, all of which tend to shut down at weekends and some of which have a weird sort of pub half-life, where they operate hard during the day and close after the evening rush for post work drinks. Go there on a Friday night and everything is closed.
So where do you play, when you’re staying in London city apartments? Well, you can head over to the South Bank, only a short walk down from Charing Cross, which will put you in the heart of culture land. For a high brow evening out you can check out the National Theatre or a late exhibition at the Tate (also try the V and A for late exhibitions, they have a funky bar in there and on some nights you can wander round the show with a glass of vino on the go). For something with more drinking and less thinking involved, either make your way up to Brick Lane (there are as many pubs and bars as there are curry houses there these days. 93ft East is recommended) or take advantage of the Founders Arms, right next to the Tate and with fine views over the river.

If you cross the City and get back up towards Regents Park you’ll find classic London pubs aplenty. There’s a good Sam Smith’s pub halfway up Great Portland Street, which serves all the media workers in the immediate environs. Or go around the back of Oxford Street to the Toucan, London’s smallest Guinness pub.
