Whether for business or leisure, sometimes the best base for a visit to London can be found outside of the capital. Situated in St Albans, a Hertfordshire city with plenty of history and character, this efficient ground floor apartment offers both comfort and convenience. There's plenty of space within and beyond the sizeable living and dining area, with two bedrooms and bathrooms meaning guests don't end up on top of each other. Besides its famous cathedral, St Albans' transport links are also well regarded, with regular trains south bringing you to the built-up bustle of King's Cross in half an hour.
