Marlin Queen street apartments - London - May 2010

We stayed in the heart of the city for a friend's wedding. This was the nearest place to stay to the venue, and was also competitively priced. We've never stayed in an apartment before and we found having the kitchen and living areas a great asset, although it would be of more use to a family, or someone staying more than two nights to really benefit from self-catering. All the kitchen utensils you would need are supplied. The bedroom was extremely small, the bathroom was adequate with a shower over bath. You can hear the tube trains running underneath but they don't run through the night so it's not really a problem. The concierge was friendly, but you're pretty much left to your own devices here. The area is well lit and feels safe at night.

The city as always, is dead at the weekends, so there's not much open nearby, but the Sunday service in St Paul's is magical, definitely worth a special trip. I'd recommend walking across the river to the Southbank area for breakfast, there's an Eat right on the river.
