Corporate Housing in London: A Guide for Companies
By Luis Aparicio, Founder · 20 July 2026 · 2 min read

Somewhere between "two weeks in a hotel" and "a twelve-month tenancy" sits most of the accommodation a company actually needs: relocations finding their feet, project teams on ninety-day engagements, leadership rotating through quarterly. That middle ground is what corporate housing solves.
The three options, honestly compared
Hotels work for days, not months. Past a week the costs compound: breakfasts, laundry, no ability to host. Past a month your people are visibly tired of living out of a suitcase.
Standard lettings solve cost but create administration: deposits, utility accounts, council tax, furniture, twelve-month terms for ninety-day needs, and no one to call when the boiler fails on a Sunday.
Serviced residences sit in between: furnished, billed, cleaned and supported, with terms measured in nights rather than years. Our residences take stays from a single night to, in selected homes, 180 nights.
What placements actually need
From operating residences for corporate guests, the checklist that matters:
- Location that respects the commute. All three residences sit in Canary Wharf, minutes from the towers: the two-bedroom William Jessop for senior teams or an assignee bringing family, and the one-bedroom John Cabot or Mellish Residence for individual placements.
- Space for a life, not a visit. Kitchens, laundry, a desk that isn't the bed, the difference between a placement that succeeds and one that ends early.
- One bill, one contact. Finance teams need an invoice, not a stack of receipts; assignees need a single number that always answers. Our AI concierge is on 24/7, backed by the team that owns every residence.
How engagement works with us
Our corporate membership is built for exactly this: priority access across the portfolio, preferential long-stay terms, monthly invoicing, and a single point of contact for every placement. Because we own and operate every residence, standards don't vary by listing. The second placement looks like the first.
For visiting executives, the same desk arranges the rest of the journey too, including private jet charter through licensed operators.
