It’s The Talk of The Town

Fashionable, Chic and a Great Range of New London Serviced Apartments in Marylebone, Which Everyone is Talking About……..

Marylebone is steeped in history, is chic, fashionable and elegant.   Here at J&K Apartments, Marylebone Village ticks our boxes for one of the best areas of London to stay in.  Here is our guide to why it’s such a great location and read about the best serviced apartments in Marylebone!

Firstly the location is absolutely perfect.   You are only a 3 – 5 minute walk from the amazing stores, boutiques and restaurants of Oxford Street, Bond Street and the wonderful West End secret, which is St Christopher’s Place.  Hyde Park is also just around the corner and the magic and tranquility of Regent’s Park is also a pleasant 15 minute stroll away.

In Marylebone Village itself, you have a range of the most wonderful boutiques, unique artisan shops and delicatessens.  J&K Apartments loves La Fromagerie, one of the finest cheesemongers in London.  This fascinating shop features a maturing cellar, a dedicated walk-in cheese room and even an affineur (cheese specialist), on hand to help with selections. The shop also sells artisan breads, charcuterie, fine wines and a variety of dry store ingredients. The on-site kitchen produces homemade jams and chutneys, biscuits and cakes along with a daily changing kitchen menu of salads, soups and other seasonal dishes.  It is worth a visit and we guarantee you won’t go away empty handed!

The expert butchers of The Ginger Pig, also on Moxon Street prepare and sell meat from animals raised at owner Tim Wilson’s Grange Farm, situated within 3,000 acres of beautiful Yorkshire moorland. The shop sells a hugely popular range of pickles, pies, sausages, pates, terrines and the most incredibly large and succulent sausage rolls we’ve ever seen, along with a daily-changing selection of menu to take home.

Treat yourself something delicious at one of the lovely little delicatessens such as Patisserie Valerie or Paul Rothe & Son. The Rothe family has been serving Marylebone residents for well over a century.  Here you can choose from a selection of freshly made sandwiches, and hot food along with a super range of  jams, marmalades and condiments of all kinds.  It is certainly easy to see why Paul Rothe remains a favourite local haunt.

For the fashionistas amongst us, there is such a huge variety of wonderful boutiques to choose from in Marylebone village.  There are too many for us to mention all of them, but J&K Apartments loves Aspinal of London, VV Rouleaux, Matches and Agnes b.

For the most stylish children’s clothes in London, try the wonderful Bonpoint with the most adorable clothes for babies and children.  Amaia has also become one of London’s leading children’s fashion shops with a loyal and devoted clientele.

As for restaurants, well if you are a foodie, you will be in your element in Marylebone village! For the team at J&K Apartments Coco Momo is top of our list.  The day menu offers burgers, salads, sandwiches and bagels along with hearty main meals including lamb steak with chips and butternut squash lasagne. You can also pop in for brunch. On Sundays the kitchen is open all evening offering the full menu – otherwise evening bar snacks are available. Try the Weekday special deal ‘Love Thy Lunch’ -it’s a real winner!

J&K Apartments also recommends 28°-50°which is a relaxed, wine-focused bar and restaurant on Marylebone Lane.  The bistro style menu offers excellent seasonal dishes and a choice of over 30 wines.   There is also a fantastic bar menu which includes charcuterie, cheeses and burgers.  Arranged over two floors the restaurant offers a glimpse into culinary life, with an open kitchen downstairs.
If you are wanting to stay in the very heart of Central London, yet experience a slightly more relaxed “village” feel, look no further than Marylebone Village.  We guarantee you will love it.

Our top choice for serviced apartments in Marylebone is 56 Welbeck Street.  This is a newly refurbished property offering a small, exclusive range of the most excellent 1 bedroom serviced apartments in Marylebone for stays of 3 months or more.  If you are looking for a stylish London serviced apartment for your longer term stay in London, then this is the choice for you!

If you are in London for just a week or even up to a few months, then 5 Bentinck Street is a great choice for your London Serviced Apartment.  Choose from a range of superb serviced apartments of the very highest quality including studios, 1 & 2 bedroom apartments and also a stylish mews house, ideal for families.

With Bond Street, Oxford Circus, Marble Arch and Regent’s Park tube stations all within easy walking distance of Marylebone, travel around all of Central London is so very easy.

Luxury Serviced Apartments in Knightsbridge

Location Location Location

Why we love Knightsbridge?

Location Location Location – luxury apartments in Knightsbridge.

It’s all about location and the hot spot in London this summer has got to be Knightsbridge.

Day after day our phones at J&K Apartments ring with requests for luxury apartments in Knightsbridge. At this time of year we are certainly safe to say that demand most definitely out ways supply.   So what is all the fuss about in this prestigious part of the Capital?

Knightsbridge is one of London’s finest shopping areas. Between Brompton Road and Sloane Street, shoppers will find London’s hottest designers and specialist outlets.  From Dior, Louis Vuitton, Chanel, Joseph, Dolce & Gabbana, Versace, Gucci, Hermes, Prada, Saint Laurent, Boss … the list goes on.  Fancy a diamond or two?  Look no further than Graff on Sloane Street.  You will find Burbury on Scotch Corner. Burberry offers high-quality Scottish goods including a Tartan room, men’s and women’s fashions and much more.

Knightsbridge is also one of the best areas in the world to shop for lingerie, especially at Janet Reger and Rigby and Peller. Of course the most famous store in Knightsbridge is Harrods. The store began in the middle of the nineteenth century when Henry Charles Harrod started a grocery shop on Brompton Street. Harrod decided to concentrate on selling high quality goods rather than trying to compete for low prices. Soon the shop was a tremendous success and began to expand into the surrounding area. In modern times Harrods Food Halls span seven rooms and cover thirty-five thousand square feet. The mammoth store also features toys and sixty fashion departments. At night the store is lit by eleven thousand lights. Though Harrods is open to all- there is a strict dress code and customers have been turned away for wearing too little!

Where to eat?  Well  – you really are spoilt for choice.  Knightsbridge offers an array of cafe’s close to Harrods where you will pay tourist prices for a coffee.  However wherever you go it is hard to find a cafe latte that is reasonably priced these days!  The best value for money we have found is the coffee shop on the top floor of Peter Jones. 

If you like Italian, we love Signor Sassi, 14 Knightsbridge Green.   Signor Sassi is renowned for its simple yet exquisite cuisine.  San Lorenzo on Beauchamp Place is of course another favourite for Italian food lovers.   If you prefer to be a little more daring, then try Nozomi  - an exclusive restaurant serving Japense cuisine. The place to be and be seen, it seems. For eateries near to Sloane Square, why not try The Botanist or alternatively Colbert. If you are a fan of French cuisine – head to Kinnerton Street to Gordon Ramsey’s Petrus.

Most importantly where to stay in Knightsbridge?  J&K Apartments have a fantastic range of luxury serviced apartments.  We know them all inside out and can advise you on style, location, services and facilities to suit your every requirement.  All you need to do is call us on +44(0)1797 253 823 or e-mail us at enquire@jandkapartments.com   

Our luxury apartments in Knightsbridge range from studios to 4 bedrooms.  We have preferential rates with all and can help corporate or individuals, families and groups.  We offer a very bespoke and personalised service as we value your custom.  Have a look at some of our favourite Knightsbridge apartments below.  We hope to help you soon.
