Sustainable travel isn’t just a buzzword. It’s a smart, conscious way to explore new places while minimising your environmental impact. And the great news is: if you're staying in one of our serviced apartments in London, you're already off to a greener start.
From low-waste living to eco-friendly transport, here’s how you can enjoy London more sustainably without sacrificing comfort, convenience, or style.
Why Our Serviced Apartments Are a Sustainable Choice
Unlike traditional hotels, serviced apartments naturally support more eco-friendly travel. Here’s how staying with us helps:
- Less Energy Consumption: No round-the-clock hotel facilities, daily linen changes, or buffet waste.
- In-House Cooking: Full kitchens reduce dependence on takeaways and single-use packaging.
- Longer Stays, Less Movement: Ideal for guests who want to stay in one place and explore slowly, the most sustainable travel style of all.
1. Use London’s Excellent Public Transport
London’s public transport is not only iconic, it’s also one of the greenest ways to get around.
- Use an Oyster Card or contactless payment for access to the Tube, buses, Overground, and even river boats.
- Stay near stations like Canada Water (SE16), Whitechapel (E1) or Stratford (E15) all walkable from our apartments.
Insider tip: London buses run on biofuel blends and electric power, making them a cleaner choice than taxis.
2. Go By Bike or Foot
Walking and cycling are the most sustainable ways to explore, and London is full of pedestrian-friendly routes, hidden gardens, and river paths.
Use Santander Cycles, London’s affordable bike hire scheme, available near most of our locations.
Take scenic walks through Greenwich Park (near SE18), Burgess Park (SE17), or along Regent’s Canal.
3. Eat Local & Cut Down on Waste
Support local cafés, markets, and refill shops instead of big chains or excessive packaging.
- Visit local farmers’ markets for fresh produce
- Shop at zero-waste stores or bring your own containers
- Use your in-apartment kitchen to cook sustainably and avoid food waste
4. Save Energy & Water While You Stay
We’ve equipped all our apartments with energy-efficient appliances and water-saving features. You can help by:
- Turning off lights and electronics when not in use
- Using heating or cooling only when needed
- Reusing towels and linens during your stay
5. Choose Experiences That Give Back
Sustainable travel isn’t only about reducing harm it’s also about doing good. Consider:
- Joining local walking tours or cultural experiences run by small businesses
- Visiting museums or galleries that support the community
- Volunteering a few hours if you’re in town longer (some organisations welcome travellers!)
Travel Smart. Stay Thoughtfully.
Whether you’re in London for a quick work trip or a longer adventure, staying with us means enjoying the city with comfort and conscience.
