Book Accommodation Early in Manchester and London: The Same Tale in Two Cities
Visit UK Cities for Your Short Break
Ever thought about which British towns and cities offer most choice in music, theatre and art, sporting events and tourist attractions? We cannot give an unbiased view, but consider London, with its status as Olympic hosts and English capital city and Manchester, cultural capital and heaven for football fans in the north offer superb destinations for tourists and business people alike.
Luckily, neither London or Manchester are about to revolt as Paris was in the Dickens novel, A Tale of Two Cities, but, like his London of 1775, both London and Manchester are havens for visitors, with regards to sight-seeing, places to stay and festivals to visit.
London
Capital of culture, business and mass participation sports, London offers a plethora of first class shopping facilities, hotels, museums, theatres and sporting venues. London is famous throughout the world for the arts, including high fashion, architectural design, musical talent, TV and film making. Tickets for the incredible musical productions in the West End and iconic Royal Albert Hall concert hall are usually available online, and no matter what your preference: old masters, R and B or Bebop, you can always find something to go and see.
It is also home to so many museums, mostly free entry, and stunning buildings that you will struggle to visit a fraction of them. The city is getting ready to host the vast majority of events for the London 2012 Olympic games and the sense of anticipation is building and count down to the commencement is made visible as the BT Tower has a huge LED display to show the number of days to go before the event starts.
Being such an enormous city, London can provide a commensurately vast range of accommodation for its tourists and business visitors. However, during the summer period and during the Olympics there could be difficulties finding accommodation. Think now and book if you require temporary accommodation during vacation times, specially in 2012, even if you are not attending the Olympics. There is a range of accommodation types from B&Bs, luxury and 2 and 3 star hotels to London serviced apartments, just the ticket if you require the flexibility to eat in or out and always of a high standard that business people and tourists have come to expect in London.
The City of Manchester
Being a major centre for work, tourism, higher and further education and sport in the north, Manchester sometiems experiences shortfalls in temporary accommodation as well. Get savvy like the locals (known as Mancunians) and book your accommodation in plenty of time. Serviced apartments in Manchester offer the range of quality services you would expect in convenient city centre locations.
Celebrated for its two top football teams, Universities and arts, Manchester is also well documented for its cotton trade. Rejuvenated in the last 20 years, the city is a lively, sophisticated centre full of festivals throughout the year, but especially so during October – December. From comedians, authors and science to music, everybody’s tastes are taken into consideration. Getting about is simple with great public transport facilities and the waterways are something to write home about.
Both London and Manchester offer a wonderful experience for visitors but advanced booking is vital if you are to find the accommodation you want. For all your short term accommodation needs, visit our Serviced Apartments, available UK wide.
