Holborn is also a convenient destination for those looking for a weekend getaway or city break.

<h2 style="text-align: justify;">Where to Stay in Holborn</h2>
A bustling neighbourhood in <a href="../../../london/central-london/serviced-apartments">Central London</a>, there are a number of great locations in Holborn and the wider area, all conveniently linked by public transport to wherever guests need to be. Serviced apartments around Clerkenwell boast close proximity to museums like The Postal Museum and Charles Dickens Museum, and local entertainment venues like The Piano Works and Sadler Wells Theatre. Visitors who choose to stay in <a href="../../../london/fitzrovia/serviced-apartments">Fitzrovia</a>, meanwhile, can benefit from easy access to the shopping hub of Oxford Street, and the entertainment district around Soho and Shaftesbury Avenue. Though London is generally a safe capital city to visit, guests are still advised to keep an eye on their possessions, as pickpockets may operate in even the quietest areas.
<h2 style="text-align: justify;">Facts About Holborn</h2>
London’s historic law district, Holborn is primarily comprised of a mix of legal buildings and commercial offices, but there are also a number of small museums, boutiques, gastropubs and casual cafes, all with their own distinct identity and history. As an area in keeping with the legacy of the rest of London, here are just a few fascinating facts about Holborn to entice and excite new visitors:
<ul style="text-align: justify;">
<li style="font-weight: 400;">Holborn has been home to many famous residents, including Charles Dickens, Zadie Smith and Samuel Taylor-Coleridge.</li>
<li style="font-weight: 400;">According to ancient custom, in addition to passing their legal exams, anyone training to be a barrister in Britain must join one of Holborn’s Inns of Court and dine there at least twenty-four times before being officially qualified.</li>
<li style="font-weight: 400;">Shakespeare's play 'A Comedy of Errors' was first put on in Holborn in 1594. It was performed at Gray’s Inn Hall by Chancery Lane.</li>
<li style="font-weight: 400;">The Old Curiosity Shop, made famous in the Dickens novel of the same name, was built in 1587 and is the oldest shop in Central London. It is still open to this day, now a popular shoe shop.</li>
<li style="font-weight: 400;">The Rosewood Hotel on High Holborn is so exclusive and upmarket that one suite even has its own postcode.</li>
<li style="font-weight: 400;">The Red Lion pub is famous for more than just alcohol. Apparently, the body of Oliver Cromwell was briefly stored here on its way to Tyburn Gallows.</li>
</ul>
<h2 style="text-align: justify;">Cost of Living in Holborn</h2>
Due to its highly desirable location in Central London, rental prices in Holborn can be relatively high. Apartments can be rented from £1000 to £2,500+ monthly, which means that serviced accommodation from TheSqua.re can be a comparatively cheaper option for longer term residents, particularly given the many perks associated with extended stays.
Day to day costs obviously vary depending on the activity. Like the rest of the UK, London and Holborn benefit from the NHS, meaning that huge healthcare costs are not an issue. Residents may need to pay for private or cosmetic surgery or dental care, but these will still be minimal. Dining out can range from £15 to £55, depending on the calibre of restaurant, however this can be offset by the reasonably low price of groceries and the apartments’ fully equipped kitchens. Money can also be saved on local entertainment venues, with many cinemas and theatres offering discount ticket options and membership schemes.

From paid day trips to fun freebies, there is plenty for visitors to see and do locally, thanks to the sheer number of sightseeing opportunities Central London offers. Whatever the reason for visiting, these are just a few suggestions to help guests make the most out of their leisure time:

Street food is also an option in the area, with Tottenham Court Road, Brooke’s Market and Leather Market often lined with vendors selling takeaway meals of various different cuisines. For a more elaborate street food dining experience however, visitors to Holborn are encouraged to explore the regular markets of wider London, such as Boxpark Shoreditch, Model Market, Street Food Union, and the Southbank Centre Food Market. Delicious!
<h2 style="text-align: justify;">Shopping in Holborn</h2>
Close to both Oxford Street and Covent Garden market, the area around Holborn is littered with a whole host of high street chain stores and independent boutiques for those looking to indulge in some retail therapy. With a great selection of fashion, food and technology close to home, residents of Holborn are guaranteed to find what they are looking for in the near vicinity, and sometimes even window shopping can be a great way to pass that leisure time.
Some of the best places to shop in Holborn include:
<ul style="text-align: justify;">
<li style="font-weight: 400;">The Brunswick Centre - a shopping centre featuring high street fashion, lifestyle stores, restaurants, and an arthouse cinema.</li>
<li style="font-weight: 400;">Oxford Street - one of the most popular shopping destinations in London, this bustling road in Central London offers designer outlets and household brands all in one location.</li>
<li style="font-weight: 400;">Covent Garden Market - a shopping and entertainment hub, Covent Garden centres around the elegant Piazza, home to fashion stores, craft stalls at the Apple Market, and the Royal Opera House.</li>
<li style="font-weight: 400;">High Holborn - a busy street and through-road boasting a number of high street stores.</li>
</ul>
<h2 style="text-align: justify;">Transportation in Holborn</h2>
With 11 Underground lines covering 270 stations, London’s public transport network is world-famous and all-encompassing, meaning that visitors can feel assured they will never be too far from home. Residents of Holborn will be able to traverse the many boroughs of the capital with ease, and several major overground terminals, such as Kings Cross and <a href="../../../london/central-london/serviced-apartments">London Waterloo</a>, open up options for getting out and exploring the wider country. The Holborn area is served by several TFL stations, among them Holborn (Central Line, Piccadilly), Chancery Lane (Central), Russell Square (Piccadilly) and Farringdon (Circle, Hammersmith &amp; City, Metropolitan, National Rail). These stations are arguably the most efficient ways of travelling around the city, and Day Travelcards can be bought (accepted through Zones 1-5) for around £20.00.
London is of course famous for its iconic red buses, and these can both be a great way of sightseeing during travel. Buses in particular are exceptionally useful: they can be boarded with a simple tap of a Contactless Payment Card, Travelcard or Oyster (£1.50 for a single fare, £4.50 for a day of bus-only travel), and run over 700 routes, including 52 night services. Black cabs are another useful way of travelling around the city, and many of the cab drivers can also offer unique insights and local knowledge of the various areas. These can be a little pricy though, so make sure to use sparingly.
<h2 style="text-align: justify;">Weather in Holborn</h2>
Due to its generally temperate climate, the weather in the UK can often be difficult to predict, and Central London is no exception. During winter, the temperature can easily drop to below freezing during the coldest months, while summers in July and August can be dry and balmy, with temperatures ranging into the high twenties and above. Visitors however should not necessarily expect the weather to remain the same throughout their stay, and so longer-term residents are encouraged to pack for all weathers, just in case. We recommend visiting in September, as this month usually offers warm, bright days with cool and comfortable evenings, allowing travellers to make the most out of their stay.
<h2>Cost to Stay in Serviced Apartments in Holborn</h2>
Often referred to as Midtown Manhattan, Holborn is a great neighborhood to stay in. Hence it attracts wealthy homebuyers and renters. The average cost of most houses in the area comes to around £1,600,000. The rates can go as high as £6,500,000 depending on the number of bedrooms and facilities attached. If you are moving to Holborn temporarily for about a month or two, you can choose the vacation rentals. The cost to stay in serviced apartments in Holborn starts from around £177 per night. The more luxurious apartments around Chancery Lane are priced at £200 per night onwards. As for the hotels, they come in a wide range. The cheapest ones cost around £65 per night. But they have very limited features. So, if you prefer a slightly high standard consider the £110 per night ones or above.
