Short Term Lets in London
Short term lets in London have become an increasingly popular choice for professionals, families, and visitors seeking flexibility without sacrificing comfort.
Whether you’re relocating, on a work assignment, or enjoying an extended city break, City Realtor offers a curated portfolio of fully furnished homes designed to make your stay effortless. Unlike standard long-term rentals, short term lets offer freedom from lengthy contracts while still providing the warmth and privacy of a real home. From luxury riverside apartments to character-filled period homes, our London short term lets give you space, style, and a central location without the commitment.
What Exactly Are Short Term Lets in London?
In property terms, a short term let usually means renting a furnished property for anywhere from one week to six months. These rentals are move-in ready, complete with bedding, kitchen equipment, and utilities.
Our short term lets cater to:
- Professionals on temporary contracts or relocation assignments
- Families bridging the gap between homes
- Students attending short academic programmes or internships
- Travellers seeking a longer city experience than a hotel stay allows
- Homeowners needing temporary accommodation during renovations
Each property is selected for its quality, location, and convenience, ensuring your stay in London is as comfortable as it is practical.
Why Choose a Short Term Let in London Over Other Options?
The capital is dynamic and constantly on the move, so flexibility is key. Hotels have their place, but short term lets offer an experience that feels more like living in the city rather than just visiting.
Key benefits include:
- More living space and privacy than a hotel room
- Fully equipped kitchens for convenient, cost-effective dining
- Flexible rental periods tailored to your exact needs
- Properties in desirable London postcodes close to transport links
- Inclusive bills to simplify budgeting
With City Realtor, you get the perfect balance between the convenience of a hotel and the comfort of a private home.

Short Term Lets vs Hotels – Which Is Better?
For stays beyond a week, short term lets often win on comfort, cost, and lifestyle. With your own space, you can enjoy independence, cook meals, and live at your own pace — something no hotel can fully match.
Advantages include:
- A full living space rather than a single room
- Residential neighbourhoods for an authentic city experience
- Better value for money over several weeks or months
- More comfortable for families and groups
- Flexibility to extend your stay if needed
For anyone who wants to live London rather than just visit, a short term let offers the best of both worlds.
Things to Consider Before Choosing a Short Term Let
- Proximity to transport and key locations
- Wi-Fi quality and other included amenities
- Size and layout for your household needs
- Whether cleaning services are included
- Length of stay restrictions or minimum rental periods
City Realtor helps you review these points to ensure the property fits perfectly with your plans.
