When relocating to a new city, or working for a short period of time from a different destination, transport is often a headache.

When choosing somewhere to stay in London for work or leisure, choose somewhere that has good transport connections, however you want to travel. Holborn is centrally located and provides easy access around the capital whether by train, tube or air.
Employees or contractors relocating or working on fixed term contracts often think they have to find somewhere to stay on the doorstep of the office. Often, a location that is nearby and provides easy access in and out can help to develop a better work/life balance. You can enjoy the nightlife and lifestyle options close to your accommodation while also being close to the office for an easy commute.
