It's all a load of Cannonballs in here! This is the virtual Arsenal pub where you can chat about anything except football. Be warned though, like any pub, the content may not always be suitable for everyone.
At the risk of being ridiculed, I was hoping somebody could give me some advice.
I am looking into the cost of renting a three bedroomed apartment in London for a week next Christmas (2011). I know I am early but I think I need time to work out how much I have to save.
I have searched around on Google but was hoping for some local knowledge. Ideally, the apartment would be close to tourist attractions as I am bringing down the chin tribe (four children) and the mum/dad in law.
If anybody knows of a nice and not too expensive let please let me know. If there are annual xmas events I shouldn't miss then please let me know what to do and what to avoid.

Apartments in London over Christmas ..... loads of dosh mate
I have already promised the kids. I can see some backtracking ahead
Call D. Ream. On and ask for the Harringay Tourist Board. They have plenty of flats for rent.
Seriously, you're probably best getting a serviced apartment for a week. Will cost you a few quid, but these will be your best bet. There are hundreds of them in Westminster. The reason I know this....because I lent the money to build them (my Bank did).
We've also financed Student Accommodation, which is cheap, cheerful and central. See the below link. Definitely worth a shout and frees up more cash for more important things.
I have just given them a call. Unfortunately they don't do 3 bedroomed apartments which means I'd have to find a different room for the in-laws. Whilst that is an attractive proposition for me, I think they want to wake up and see the grandkids running about.
Why don't you try places a little further East, like Hackney? The prices should be a hell of a lot cheaper and you'd only be a 15-20mins tube ride from Central London.
