Benefits of Serviced Apartments

Serviced apartments are becoming increasingly popular, as more and more people realise the numerous advantages they offer compared to mainstream private accommodation. Staying in a private apartment means getting the best of both worlds - a private, home-like environment in which to relax, as well as the change to self-cater, along with additional services such as room cleaning, concierge and reception. 

These properties are also usually found in the most desirable areas of a given district or neighbourhood - offering a host of local amenities, proximity to local sights and landmarks as well as easy access to public transport hubs.

Holiday Accommodation in Stratford

Stratford is also becoming a fashionable alternative for those visiting London as tourists. The area not only offers quick and easy transport links to all of the capital’s major landmarks. Serviced apartments make for ideal holiday accommodation in Stratford, offering guests a home-from-home environment in which to enjoy their stay. One of the biggest advantages of private apartments is that they come with a fully equipped kitchen, meaning guests have the option to self-cater - which can yield much greater cost-efficiency over longer stays.

Where to Stay in Stratford

Whilst Stratford is a reasonably small district in east London, it nonetheless has several distinct areas. When choosing where to stay in Stratford, it’s important to consider the nature of any trip - those visiting on business, for example, will likely want to base themselves near the main commercial areas around Electra and Uplands business parks, whilst those staying in the district as tourists may want to be nearer the leisure facilities and attractions of the Olympic Park. Typically, Chobham Manor and East Village are the most sought after areas to stay in Stratford, offering a balance between local amenities and access to the main railway and tube station. Alternatively, those looking for more of small-town atmosphere can opt for accommodation in the Cathall neighbourhood. 

Facts About Stratford

Stratford was once known for its farmlands and was once one of London’s most fertile area for growing potatoes! However, since the industrial revolution, the small district became more and more integral to east London’s manufacturing industries. Of course, the area later became famous as one of the London 2012 Olympic sites, with its Queen Elizabeth Olympic Park since being repurposed as a sprawling leisure, shopping and entertainment complex. Below are a few other facts about Stratford:

  • Stratford was once a centre for steam-driven road transport and in 1832 a steam-powered bus travelled from the London district down to Brighton.
  • The first recorded mention of Stratford came in 1067. At this point in time, the area was called Straetforda – this means the ford on a Roman road.
  • The crypt of Stratford’s St John the Evangelist church was used as an air-raid shelter during World War 2.
  • The Beatles once recorded a promo for ‘Penny Lane’ on Stratford’s Angel Lane.
  • Stratford’s Queen Elizabeth Olympic Park covers over 560 acres!

Cost of Living in Stratford

Whilst London is somewhat notorious for its high cost of living, those staying in Stratford might be pleasantly surprised. Despite its location just outside of the city centre, prices in the district are generally a little lower than they are in the city centre - especially when it comes to the largest expenditure: rent. 

Typically, the price of renting an apartment in Stratford will range from between £950 and £2,500, depending on size and location. The advantage of serviced apartments is that they become more cost-effective the longer the stay and also offer additional savings by providing services such as room cleaning and concierge. They also come complete with the latest in home entertainment and mod-cons, which can often be an additional spend when looking for short to medium term lets. 

Other expenses to consider will be food and travel costs. The latter is fairly easy to budget for - a Travelcard for central London will cost around £13.10 for the day, or £35 for one week. Food will, of course, vary dramatically depending on lifestyle, but serviced apartments offer the facility of a fully equipped kitchen - which means having the option to self-cater. This can offer huge savings over the longer term.
