LONDON —
ST PAUL'S CATHEDRAL AT NIGHT |
Welcome to the Capital City
of the English-speaking World!
Everyone must see London. It just
might be the most youthful and interesting city in the world. London is chaotic,
loud, diverse, and sophisticated.
It is British Babylon. It is theatre,
shopping,
museums, royal pageantry, landmarks, red buses
and black cabs.

In our customers' own words—
"We had an outstanding holiday. Accommodations at St.
Katharine's Marina were well-situated, safe. Ground/area
very attractive. Excellent amenities. Close to Underground
and buses. A joy to walk from our flat and be at the Tower
Bridge and Tower of London in three or four minutes! The
supermarket right across the street a major plus. We'll be
doing our second Home At First trip next summer!"

Katharine's Marina
Beauty, Tranquility,
Safety, & Convenience.
HOME AT FIRST’s
London apartments are located in
historic,
beautiful St. Katharine’s Marina just east of the
Tower of London and the Tower Bridge. Once an important warehouse center
for high-value imports, this westernmost section of London's redeveloped
Docklands is now a large, sequestered yacht basin. A pedestrians-only
zone, the marina is lined with modern apartment buildings, and
- |
|
numerous upscale shops, restaurants, and
|
|
|
pubs.
HOME AT FIRST’s
apartments at St.
Katharine's Marina are a 5-minute
traffic-free walk from the Tower Hill
Underground stop. From here, all of downtown London may be reached
within 30 minutes. |
|
In our customers' own words—
"The St. Katharine's Marina location was absolutely
captivating, with the harbor full of boats and The Tower
nearby. An ideal location for our adventures out each day to
explore the city via 'the tube'."

YOUR OWN APARTMENT IN CENTRAL LONDON
History, Culture,
Theatre, & Home.
After long days of
London history,
culture, fashion, and theatre, return to a friendly pint at a
local pub.
Or make a quick stop at a local market for fresh food and a bottle of
wine to enjoy on your balcony overlooking a peaceful courtyard or the
yacht-lined marina. Super markets, specialty shops, open-air markets,
groceries, butchers, bakers, wine and spirits stores are conveniently
close to
HOME AT FIRST
London apartments. Pubs, restaurants, cafés, wine bars, and take-away
shops will tempt you not to use your apartment's kitchen for every meal
you enjoy in London or your apartment's balcony for every drink you sip. |

Getting around is Fun
&
Easy.
Getting around London's maze of streets and neighborhoods is fun. Although you can see a lot of London
just by
walking
from your
HOME AT FIRST apartment, you can get to almost anyplace in Central London most quickly using the London
Underground. Or you can enjoy the smashing scenery from the top of a double-decker bus.
Passes for the Underground and the buses of London are supplied as part of
HOME AT FIRST's Full Packages and Ground Arrangements Only

In our customers' own words—
"Our location at St. Katharine's Marina in London was
terrific. We ran our legs off investigating as much of
London as possible. The U.S. could learn something from the
UK about moving thousands of people — the Tube (London's
subway system) is positively fantastic!"

ACTIVITY GUIDE" |
Lots to do inside and outside of
London!
Discovering London is exciting and can be
non-stop. But maybe you would like a break from the hustle of the city. Why not take a day
in the English countryside? No place in Britain offers better public transportation
connections to more of the places you want to go. Take the train somewhere fun: the
seaside at Brighton, to the great castle at Arundel,
Royal St.
George's Golf Club in Sandwich, or to medieval Canterbury. Try to solve the mystery of
Stonehenge. See what the Romans were up to a St. Albans. Stop
for high tea in Windsor after visiting the Queen's castle. Go punting at Cambridge, or
visit the magnificent library at Oxford. Discover and enjoy local pubs and fine
restaurants |
|
|
throughout the region. |
|

In our customers' own words—
"The
St. Katharine's Dock area is lovely, and gives the feeling of
security. Being so close to the supermarket is a real plus. We felt very secure in the
apartment and enjoyed the room it afforded us. We took day trips to
Oxford, Bath, and
Shrewsbury from London using our BritRail Pass. British trains run so incredibly on
time!"
J. Mowery, Illinois
"We took
several trips away from London, all from different train stations, and all were excellent.
Always on time, and plenty of trains. Our longest wait
15 minutes."

Family-friendly London.
Should we bring the kids along? Are
you kidding?! There are great parks, theater
the whole family will love, train rides and
boat rides better than in any amusement park, and, oh yes, amusement parks, too. Want
history to come alive for your kids? Why not take them where so
much history has been made? Worried about being away from McDonald's and TV? Don't be.

all over Britain. And maybe the
kids will discover new tastes: fish 'n chips, ice lollies (like those from the
ice cream van at the Tower of London, pictured here), and
the crazy convenience of public transportation as a minimum, to bring home as souvenirs.

In our customers' own words—
"St.
Katharine's Marina was a fabulous location for our London
experience. Location was very important to
our group of 6 adults and 5 children. We
loved being a short walk from the Tower of London, Tower Bridge, the Thames Path, the
nearby Underground station and bus stop. The
supermarket also just a short
walk away was a blessing!"
