London apartment layouts: studios, bedrooms and larger homes

Choose the rooms first. “Sleeps four” could mean two bedrooms or a bedroom and a sofa bed in the living room. Those arrangements make for different weeks.

Studios

A studio combines the bed and living space, with a separate bathroom. Calico House includes studios in its Bow Lane building. It normally takes stays from three months, so a small layout does not automatically mean a short booking.

One-bedroom apartments

Two and three bedrooms

Stanhope Gardens Apartments lists studios through three-bedroom apartments. The Milestone Residences at 1 Kensington Court has two- and three-bedroom homes. For three colleagues, record the actual beds and bathrooms as well as the bedroom count.

For children, a twin room can be more useful than a second double. Sofa beds occupy living space when made up, so include that room in the sleeping plan. An extra guest must also fit the apartment’s occupancy limit.

Four bedrooms and larger categories

A floor plan resolves details photographs often miss: an internal bedroom, stairs between floors, a bathroom reached through another bedroom, or the position of the dining table. Send the team your guest list and preferred bed arrangement to request the right category.
