Family-friendly holiday rentals in South London

We had a wonderful Christmas week at Flagpole Cottage. The hosts' home was clean, welcoming and extremely well-equipped. We had everything necessary for preparing family feasts, having a wood fire, plenty of bathrooms and comfortable beds. Robin and Francine even left a beautifully decorated real Christmas tree for us the enjoy (and put our presents under), a very thoughtful touch. We enjoyed the hot tub and trampoline (we were lucky with the weather, cold but not rainy) as well as the local walks to pubs. We bought our Christmas turkey (ordered in advance) at the fabulous Flower Farm shop, which is nearby and is a great source for all things edible. Robin and Francine's guide to local amenities and activities is thorough and quite useful. Robin was very attentive and open to queries but everything was so clearly laid out we didn't really have any questions. One last thing - the gardens are exceptional - even in December! I was in awe - especially the topiary. The old yew trees! xx

Reggie is by far one of the most attentive, helpful, and kind hosts I’ve ever encountered. His exceptional hospitality truly exceeded my expectations and made my stay unforgettable. I was genuinely surprised—in the best way—by how thoughtful and accommodating he was. Thank you so much, Reggie!

Great area of London for restaurants and markets. Easy access to Tube at Algate East and other rail at Liverpool Station. Val’s place was homey and clean and lots of room. Kitchen really well equipped. Views of the skyline beautiful, especially at night. A wonderful place to stay in the eastern end of London.

Carol Anne and Kelly were great hosts, kind and helpful. The apartment was very nice, equipped with everything we needed and very comfortable. The location is excellent, very close to the subway and buses, the neighborhood is great. We had a great time, thaks a lot.

Debbie was a great host with a great place. We had some hiccups brought on by ourselves, and Debbie was immediately able to help and responded to our inquiries quickly and took great care of us. An above and beyond host. The stay was greatly placed right near kings cross station, making everything in London easily accessible. Great atmosphere surrounding the stay. Would stay again!

Pam was a pleasure to communicate with. Check-in and check-out were easy and effortless. The apartment is wonderfully situated close to Hyde Park and a wide variety of shops and restaurants. The apartment itself is very cost and welcoming, with an incredibly well equipped kitchen. I couldn’t recommend the location, apartment and Pam more. Ps: it’s a 4 story walk up. We knew this when taking the apartment and we’re happy for the exercise ;)

Simple but very practical apartment, with all the necessary equipment to spend a few days. You can tell that Yura is a very thoughtful person since there was nothing missing. The location of the apartment is exceptional, very well connected and a few minutes from downtown.

Absolute lovely place in a quiet area of London. The flat is exactly as described and it has everything you need for a short or long stay. Totally recommended, would love to come back!

John is a great host and we enjoyed spending a little time with him once in awhile. The place was as described and a good starting off place each morning.

Great location, apartment was spotless and the hosts were super responsive and easy to communicate with. Highly recommended

Great London guides and maps available for use during our stay. We stayed 3 weeks and the place was cleaned every Wednesday. Paddington tube and railway station very close by. Take the canal boat trip from near the apartment to Camden Lock for a fun day. Good hot water and pressure in shower.

Great living space! Will for sure stay again

Perfect apartment for a family looking to explore London! It’s set up in a very homely fashion and Davey was an amazing host- always responsive and helpful, when needed. Thank you for making my family feel so comfortable!

Fantastic, stylish and artistic home. The space is peaceful and relaxing. Courtyard is perfect for enjoying a cuppa in the morning air. James even went to the trouble of booking parking for us at a very reasonable price. Great park at the end of the road for dog walks and canal is just over the road for lovely strolls. A range of shops and eateries on the doorstep. One of the most comfortable stays we’ve had.

Paul and Angela's cottage was perfect for our short stay. The location is in a very quiet location yet within walking distance of all the places we wanted to visit in Greenwich and near great transport links to Central London. The cottage itself has everything you need for a comfortable stay. As mentioned in other reviews there is a narrow spiral staircase as clearly shown in the pictures but our 6 year old managed this just fine and we were able to take our cases up. Paul and Angela answered any queries quickly and were kindly able to accommodate requests to leave luggage at the cottage pre/post check in/out times so we could make the most of our short stay. We would certainly stay again and recommend to others.

Perfect for seeing a concert at Shepherds Bush Empire. Great and cheap Indian across the road. Very accessible for central London.

We really enjoyed our stay here! The apartment is cozy, well-located, and not far from the city center. Everything we needed was within walking distance. It was a perfect place to come back to after exploring London.

Fantastic stay, hosts were brilliant and went out way to make me feel welcome, lovely to have use of the pool, nice walk from streathem station over the common and lovely neighbourhood, highly recommend

It was a lovely stay and just perfect for our needs in London. We have two little dogs who felt quite at home. The garden was very relaxing. Canadian Avenue is a nice location and not too busy. There are plenty of shops nearby, the station is close and there are also lots of places to catch a bus. This is the first time of using an Airbnb. The whole process was excellent and I hope to book again with Sue in the future. Thank you also to Jean and Ralph who were vey helpful.

Want a nice quiet spot in West London that's affordable? This is it. Always got peaceful nights sleep and it's easy to get to the underground or walks to Shepherd's Bush.

Tara was very welcoming and made us feel instantly at home. The flat was well equipped with everything we needed. The flat was well located with easy transport links nearby. We would definitely stay here again!😄

Emma was very welcoming as we arrived. She showed us around and gave us perfect advice on how to get into town. The cabin was perfect for a weekend away. We found a swing attached to the trees and had great fun. The bed was like a cloud and the kitchen had everything you need. Would recommend to family and would stay again.

Jodi’s home is a great place to stay. We were going to a wedding at Hackney Town Hall and could walk easily there and to the restaurant afterwards. It’s also beautifully located looking out at London Fields. The home was well provided for, we had everything we needed and so much more. We loved the decor, there was so much to see and read. Thank you Jodi, you were so helpful too and we loved your home.

We had a fabulous long stay in Susan’s house. The house was perfect, spacious and homely and in a great location near Clapham high st and Clapham common with lots of nice shops, parks and close to lots of public transport. Susan was very welcoming and responsive and went above and beyond to make us comfortable and help us during our stay.
