Best Pet-Friendly Airbnbs in London
Aspidistra Flying
Fitzrovia
£££
Aspidistra Flying seems a fitting title for this two-bedroom penthouse, perched above the buildings of well-to-do Fitzrovia. That’s not least because of its up-market price tag and for the fact that Orwell (whose title gives the place its name) used to drink at the nearby Fitzroy Tavern.
It’s not the most spacious property in our guide but it more than makes up for that with comfy furniture and a bang-in-the-centre location. You’ll be walking distance from the West End, Piccadilly Circus and all the shopping on Oxford Street.
Though the apartment is fitted with a nice open plan kitchen, it’s also worth remembering that Fitzrovia is quite a foodie hotspot these days.
Beaumont Botanical
Richmond
£££
If you want to have a comfortable stay in London, one that’s away from the noise and chaos of the city centre, you’d do well to consider Richmond. The once-village suburb of London is home to some gorgeous townhouses, which is exactly what you’ll be getting from the Beaumont Botanical.
This five-bedroom house leaves you with more than enough space to sleep an entire family, plus pets – and pets are more than welcome here.
They’ll also get a total kick out of nearby Richmond Park, a massive greenspace and woodland that’s also home to families of wild deer.
Honeypot Loft
Notting Hill
££
Top of the list of selling points for this Notting Hill property is a spacious top-floor terrace. Pulling in a close second place for the Honeypot Loft is its location: Notting Hill. Setting for the famous movie, home to Portobello Road Market and generally delightful place to hang out.
Back inside you’ll find this two-bedroom apartment tastefully paired-back in it’s design – more functional than fabulous – and fitted with uber-comfy beds, a bathtub and plenty of workspace, should you need it.
Dream of Screens
Hackney
££
A trip to London is one you’ll want to remember, so how about an iconic place to stay? Dream of Screens is about as iconic as they come without staying in Buckingham Palace itself.
This modern take on a log cabin was designed by RIBA Award-winning architect Marcus Lee and sleeps up to eight (not including pets) across four bedrooms. The interior is as sleek as they come, juxtaposing dark woods with drenchings of natural light.
Just because it’s inspired by a log cabin doesn’t mean it’s remote either. You’ll be a five minute walk from Hackney Central and Hackney Downs stations, which puts you half an hour from London’s city centre.
Nordic Hilda
Victoria
££
Scandinavian simplicity is the name of the game at Nordic Hilda, perhaps the slickest dog-friendly airbnb London has to offer.
The apartment boasts gorgeous wood flooring and paired-back furniture to match, with perks like a rainfall showerhead and a small courtyard you’ll have all to yourself.
As for location, Victoria puts you a short underground ride from anywhere in London, and gives you access to national rail should you be coming to London from the South. You’ll also be a short walk from London’s posher districts like Knightsbridge and Belgravia where you can find some truly great places to eat.
Berries and Cream
Southfields
£
Berries and Cream is a great option for any couples looking for a small, less expensive place for themselves and their pet. By keeping this apartment at just one bedroom the owners have managed to keep the living areas spacious, and even found room for a jacuzzi bathtub.
Your pet will surely love the garden space you’ll have at your disposal for running around while you folks soak up rays on the lawn.
Outside the house you’ll find yourself in London’s quaint southwest, a part of town known for being less hectic than the rest, and just a short walk from Wimbledon in the south, and the River Thames to the north.
Modern Musician
Camden
£
Up in trendy Camden Town you’ll find a solid option for anyone trying to find the best budget pet-friendly airbnb London has to offer. It’s called Modern Musician, riffing off the area’s musical history – one brought to fame by people like Amy Winehouse and the Libertines.
The space is not big, and if it wasn’t so nicely done up could feasibly have been the accommodation of one of Lonodn’s great musicians.
While on the street you’ll be a short walk from Camden’s great bars and restaurants, at home you’ll have comfort by the bucketloads: a bathtub, a comfy L-shaped sofa with wide-screen TV, and two cosy bedrooms to choose from.
Gifted in Gold
St George’s Fields
£££
Gifted in Gold is a luxury option, no doubt about it. The three-bedroom apartment does not come cheap, but then when do apartments that sit a stone’s throw from Hyde Park?
That expensive postcode will also put you within a short walk of Mayfair and Knightsbridge, two of London’s most up-market neighbourhoods.
At home you’ll have more space than most Londoners dare to dream about, trimmed here and there with tasteful splashes of gold and with fine, designer furniture to lounge about on after long days in the city.
The perk of having four bathrooms also means you won’t be getting under each others feet when it’s time to get ready to hit the town again.
