Staying in London for a month – or even longer – brings a different kind of travel: one that blends daily routine, discovery, and home comforts. For those who want more than a standard hotel stay, Native’s pet-friendly, extended-stay apartments in London offer the ideal solution for both comfort and flexibility.
1. Embrace Space and Self-Sufficiency
Native’s self-contained apartments include fully equipped kitchens, living areas, and in some cases, in-unit laundry machines – all designed for long-term comfort. Rather than stretching over to local cafés or relying on room service, you can cook familiar meals, streamline grocery shopping, and settle into a routine that makes the city feel lived in.

2. Settle into Your London Neighbourhood
Extended stays are a chance, not just to visit London, but to belong. Native apartments are located in neighbourhoods like Mayfair and Bankside – all offering local high streets, parks, and community atmosphere.
- Local shops and farmers’ markets give a taste of daily London life.
- Pet-friendly parks and services make it easy to care for four-legged companions – on-site pet bowls and neighbourhood tips included.
- Meet neighbours, sample local cafes, and find your go-to grocery store, helping you avoid feeling like a transient visitor.
3. Create Daily Comfort with Small Routines
Thoughtfully crafted daily habits help you settle in quickly and feel at home. Consider:
- Morning coffee at a nearby cafe – Native locations have a collection of the Neighborhood Heroes – favourite local spots recommended by Native.
- Set up a work or relaxation corner within your apartment.
- Cook midweek meals and plan dinners around local pubs or restaurants – you’ll save money and enjoy gastronomic variety.
- Explore world-class gyms, yoga studios, and local events – like book clubs or craft pop-ups.
4. Go Beyond Tourist Mode
Living like a Londoner means exploring outside the top ten sights. Make time to:
- Visit neighbourhood museums and galleries – like Bermondsey’s Fashion & Textile Museum or the Wallace Collection near Marylebone.
- Discover walking routes through canals, river banks, or hidden courtyards.
- Attend local markets, from flower markets at Columbia Road to weekend artisan stalls.
- Join community events, such as seasonal festivals or local meetups.
This deeper connection builds meaningful memories.
5. Balance Work, Life, and Exploration
Native’s apartments are built for both productivity and pleasure. To maintain balance:
- Set daily hours for remote working – and use your kitchen for energising mid-morning snacks.
- Spend post-lunch hours exploring your neighbourhood on foot.
- Choose a mix of meals at home and evenings out – Native’s central locations make eating well easy.
- On weekends, plan longer outings like countryside tours or day trips – Native staff can advise.
6. Prepare for Pet-Friendly Living
For guests travelling with pets:
- Bring familiar comforts like bedding and toys to ease transition.
- Native supplies water bowls and suggestions for nearby parks and groomers.
- Walk routines around your apartment help settle pets into daily rhythm.
- Learn about local vets and emergency contacts ahead of time.
7. Enjoy Flexibility and Support
Unlike hotels, Native offers stay durations from one week to several months, and perks such as:
- Optional housekeeping to fit your routine
- Early check-in and late check-out requests (subject to availability)
- Concierge assistance – with local information or booking help for anything from theatre tickets to dinner reservations
This flexibility makes it easier to feel grounded while keeping things spontaneous.
Why Native Helps You Thrive in London
Native combines residential-style comfort, central convenience, and neighbourhood integration in a way traditional stays cannot match. You’re not just visiting – you’re truly experiencing the city – whether that’s sinking into local routines, caring for your pet, or exploring hidden streets on your doorstep.
