Despite being one of the biggest, busiest cities in the world, most London Holiday cottages can be found in peaceful, tranquil areas of the city and its outskirts. Constantly evolving and growing, the city covers over 800 square miles. But despite the seemingly endless urban sprawl there are many green areas and places of natural beauty that make it highly desirable for cottage rental.

The Green Belt around London preserves the plush, green landscape that, until 1938 was threatened by the growth of the city. Closer to its centre, Hyde Park and Hampstead heath both offer a welcome retreat from the hustle and bustle of the city with plush green lawns and winding footpaths and tracks.
To the south, The River Thames passes through some beautiful corners of London such as Isleworth and Hampton Court. Here one will find countless open spaces and idyllic settings. This is a region of boathouses and old Inns, promenades and river side walks. Landscape gardens such as the one at Ham are major attraction for those seeking a break.
The Royal Botanic gardens at Kew are also a major attraction and is set amongst the leafy suburbs of South West London. The town of Richmond, set on the banks of the Thames affords some wonderful views of the surrounding area and seems far removed from the nearby city. This is but a small taste of the delights found in and around the area. If you're looking for a short break why not book London Holiday cottages/self-catering holidays in London.
