Almost every English sovereign has been crowned and buried at this place. If you want to have a real feeling of this place come very early or very late to avoid the crowd that will only pose a distraction for you. It is a perfect and finest example of Early English Gothic (1180–1280). The beauty and magnificence of this superb monument is enjoyed more from outside than from inside. 
 
The interior is chock-a-block with small chapels; there are elaborate tombs of the monarchy, and monuments to various luminaries down the ages. It’s the most busy monument in the world. One can have a view of the Statesmen’s Aisle where numerous politicians and eminent public figures have been honored by large marble statues. The Coronation chair which has seen numerous monarchs being crowned since the 13th century adds to the charm of this fairy tale. 
 
The Poet's corner is the spot where many of Britain's Poets have been buried; it is on the south transept. Moving on to the western side of the cloister is the Scientists’ Corner, here you will find Sir Isaac Newton’s tomb. A befitting tribute to the legendary scientist who was instrumental in explaining the law of gravitation to the world.

Making the Right Deal For London Apartments Covent Garden

29/10/2011 00:21

 

Choosing a vacation rental allows you to immerse yourself and fit in to live just like the locals. Depending on your budget, your idea of London apartments can suddenly become a Bloomsbury Victorian townhouse, a Fitzrovia city loft, a Marylebone penthouse or a city mansion in Kensington and Chelsea. If living like a *rich* local appeals to you, this is the perfect opportunity to experience a lifestyle you would not be able to afford on long term. Imagine your 2-bedroom abode, Twelfth Night, nestled in a gorgeous Victorian house near Earls Court with an extensive lush courtyard garden. Go ahead, make your dream come true!

You can also find some pet friendly London apartments. Vacation rentals are often the best alternative to hotel stays if traveling with a pet. Many owners of apartments in London are pet friendly and although some owners may require an additional damage deposit, the extra spending is well worth the cost compared to the emotional separation and the costs incurred for having to leave your best friend in a kennel. It is important to always talk to the owners about their animal policies for the property and discuss extra charges.

Traveling can be an exhausting experience, especially with a large family. A large cosmopolitan city – a European one at that – can be quite intimidating, especially on a first trip. Impersonal hotels can make you feel like an outsider. London vacation rentals offer a real opportunity to immerse yourself as little or as much you choose and to do it at your own pace. Residing in a personalized space that will offer a true sense of home and belonging while exploring London will comfort you immediately and put a smile on everyone’s face as well as put them at ease. No need to get out, even for a meal if you are not up for it. Cook at home, entertain friends, surf the net, sip wine and let it all sink in. You are in London, you are home.

Live sumptuously, even if just for a week.
