OK there I caught you! Let’s not dwell on the most expensive flats in London but let’s dwell on how much you can afford. There are two basic facts when it comes to the flats in London – number one, they are more expensive as you go to the center of London. London is 609 square miles wide and if you stay at any of its 32 boroughs, you will feel a very suburbia atmosphere. It’s not like the very congested way you’ll see if you’ll just rent a very expensive condominium or duplex unit at the heart of London.

Although of course, if you’re that affluent enough, you can certainly afford staying in a place with a very spectacular view of the sights in London such as the Westminster Bridge, the London Eye, the uniquely-shaped City Hall and everything else at the banks of the River Thames. You may marvel at where James Bond exactly shoots his films. Or if you’re the political kind, you may want to take a closer look at Buckingham Palace or even at Downing Street where Prime Minister Gordon Brown is staying. Or if you’re someone who digs at Elton John concerts, then stay close to the Hyde Park area and find out when’s the next big thing happening.

Whatever the case, staying in London during Christmastime and the holiday season is surely a blast. If you’re staying here with your family and you’re from Spain, all you need to do is click on Travelocity or Expedia at the World Wide Web and find out for humongous discounts on flat deals. That’s flat folks, not hotel deals. Yes, your favorite travel agency may just be the key for your vacation to be thrift. Flat billeting and reservations are now included in their menu.

But it’s even better when your vacation is an all-expense paid trip charged to your company. That’s why readers of this article who are from Spain must be motivated to be competitive all the time. Take some English language courses in the nearest language school in your area. I’m sure there are lots of them here in Spain. Or if there’s none, then you can always enroll in an online schools. Those who have an excellent grasp of the English language after the six-month language course are in the end the only ones who will be hired by Fortune 500 companies here. But don’t be contented with the six-month language course. Also take the intermediate and the advanced English language studies so you’ll definitely be a cut above your peers.

Once you have been hired by a company and you’ll have your first vacation in London, all the rest is easy and relaxation from then on. Christmas in London is a bit different than the one here in Spain so you may find yourself lost in translation at first. But don’t worry, that’s just for the first few days but ultimately, you’ll enjoy the atmosphere here. Admittedly, it’s colder here than in Spain with temperatures hitting below zero during the middle of winter. But living in a London flat with an excellent heater can surely suffice.
