London for the Duration. A Private Residence for Every Week of Your Assignment.
Senior professionals arriving in London on extended international assignments require something that no hotel, however well-appointed, actually provides: a private home that functions as a proper operational base for the duration of their time in the city.
International Contractors
Select Apartments offers exactly that. A private central London residence, managed personally by the founder, available for assignments of any length from a matter of weeks to several months.
International contractors who arrive in London for financial services, legal, consulting, technology or project management engagements spend enough time in the city to know that their accommodation matters. The difference between a hotel room and a private home is not a matter of preference. It is a matter of performance. A proper kitchen, a private workspace, a consistent housekeeping arrangement and an address that is genuinely yours for the duration of the assignment changes the quality of an extended London tenure in ways that compound daily.
Select Apartments manages corporate placements directly through a single point of contact. Invoices are issued to corporate accounts, extensions are handled without complication and the residence is presented to a consistent standard for every return visit. For international contractors who return to London regularly, a recurring arrangement with the same residence is available.

To discuss a stay at one of our central London residences, contact Select Apartments directly. Every enquiry is handled personally and in complete confidence.
Can I extend a stay at short notice if an assignment runs longer than planned?
In most cases, yes. We build flexibility into corporate placements from the outset. If an extension is required, contact Joe directly and he will confirm availability and arrange the extension with minimal disruption to the existing arrangement.
How is the property presented on arrival after a period away?
Every return stay is prepared to the same standard as the initial arrival. Linen is refreshed, the residence is cleaned and the kitchen is stocked to specification before every check-in, regardless of how many visits have preceded it.
Can I secure the same residence across multiple visits throughout the year?
Yes. A recurring arrangement is available for contractors who return to London regularly. Contact Joe directly to discuss a forward booking arrangement that reserves your preferred property for your planned visits.
Can the residence be set up as a working environment as well as a home base?
Yes. Every residence is equipped with high-speed private Wi-Fi and space configured for working. If specific requirements exist, such as additional desk arrangements or particular connectivity needs, confirm them before arrival and we will ensure everything is in place.
What is the minimum length of stay for international contractor placements?
We accommodate stays from two weeks upwards, with no maximum duration. For shorter visits, contact us and we will advise on what can be arranged across the collection.
Can invoices be directed to a corporate entity or employer?
Yes. We invoice corporate accounts directly as required and can issue documentation in the format required by the employing company or client engagement. Confirm billing requirements when making an initial enquiry.
