The 1984 summer paralympics were hosted in both Stoke Mandeville, United Kingdom and Long Island, New York, United States. Also the first organised athletic event for athletes with a disability that coincided with the Olympic Games took place on the day of the opening of the 1948 Summer Olympics in London, United Kingdom. Dr Ludwig Guttmann of Stoke Mandeville hospital hosted a sports competition for the British World War two veteran patients with spinal cord injuries. The first games were calledthe 1948 International Wheelchair Games, and were intended to coincide with the 1948 Olympics in London. Dr Guttmanns aim was to create an elite sports competition for people with disabilities that would be equivalent to the Olympic games. The games were held again at the same location in 1952, and Dutch veterans took part alongside the British, making it the first international competition of its kind. These early competitions, also known as the Stoke Mandeville Games, have been described as the precursors of the Paralympic Games.

Corporate Accommodation in London for the Bank of England

Tuesday, July 26th, 2011

For corporate accommodation in the City of London, a lot of businesses are centred around the Bank of England (formally known as the Governor and Company of the Bank of England.) This is the central bank of the United Kingdom, the model in which most central banks have been based worldwide.  The bank itself was established in 1694, more than 300 years ago which makes it the second oldest central bank in the world and today it still acts as the banker for HM Government. Originally the bank was privately owned and operated, however it was nationalised after the war in 1946 and has remained so ever since. Although in 1997 it became an independent public organisation which gave it independence in setting monetary policy.

There are plenty of serviced accommodation options close to the Bank’s headquarters which is located in the City of London, the city’s main financial district. It is located on Threadneedle Street which is in the heart of the City. Getting serviced accommodation in London is becoming increasingly popular amongst people working and staying in the city on a short to medium term basis. Booking a serviced apartment can often work out cheaper than staying in an equivalent hotel, with many more benefits. The main advantage is space, which if you are staying and living somewhere for an extended period of time, makes a huge difference. Staying in a hotel room is fine for a few days, but after that it can all stop to feel slightly claustrophobic. With a serviced apartment that is no problem.

When looking for London serviced accommodation, a great place to start would be through a booking agent such as Serviced City Pads who can provide a range of different options for serviced apartments in the City of London. We have a range of apartment options close to the Bank of England perfect for corporate stays. With 1 and 2 bedroom apartments located on Lombard Lane, Watling Street, St. Paul’s and other locations close by, try Serviced City Pads if you’re looking for serviced accommodation in the City of London.

City of London serviced apartments

Thursday, July 8th, 2010

Serviced apartments are beginning to play a more important role in the accommodation sector in London. Serviced City Pads, a corporate accommodation account management service which deals with both very short stay apartments in London, so stays from as little as 1 or 2 days, as well as intermediate stays in London, which are generally anything from a 1-6 month stay; has noticed that companies are starting to prefer staying in an apartment instead of staying in a hotel in London.

Apart from the obvious issues with space that staying in a hotel room presents to a corporate guest who is staying in London for more than a couple of days, there is also an economic consideration. If you are working away from home in the city of London for a couple of months, perhaps you are a project worker in London or a contractor, the serviced apartment booking company will be able to cut a deal that works out cheaper than staying in a good quality London hotel. Saving money for companies that are booking accommodation in London is important to Serviced City Pads. It is clearly important to companies that are operating in what is a very difficult economic climate and saving money helps the company turn a profit from any projects that it is working in the city of London. These companies that are working in the City of London tend to be IT or finance consultants who bring their own expertise to other city based companies.

Aside from a money saving exercise, at Serviced City Pads we feel that we can demonstrate that we will save your company time and resource by booking London accommodation. We see time and again that office managers spend hours trawling through the internet in the hope that they will find a cheap serviced apartment in London, and then when they do find an apartment at the right price, they don’t have the relationship that they could have with Serviced City Pads to answer any questions that they have about the quality and location of the accommodation. Serviced City Pads is a business that is built on relationships and trust.

Of course, I say you can ignore space when comparing staying in a serviced apartment in London v a hotel in London, but you can’t really can you? Whenever I have stayed away from home with work I have always craved the additional space that an apartment offers, and it is incredibly annoying having to watch your tv perched on the end of your bed in your hotel room, unless you are lucky or rich enough to be able to stay in a hotel suite, but that’s what a serviced apartment is and more, and at considerable cost savings to the business!

If you or your company is planning an extended stay in London then perhaps you should consider calling Serviced City Pads. There is no obligation or cost involved and we will be happy to discuss what you need from your London accommodation. Serviced apartments may be an alternative that you didn’t know existed, and working with us will save you time and money; that has got to be a good thing hasn’t it?

Call Serviced City Pads on 0844 335 8866 or visit us at www.servicedcitypads.com.

City of London Serviced Apartments

Monday, November 30th, 2009

Please visit Serviced City Pads website to view a large range of serviced apartments in London and you can visit the famous ‘City Of London’ its boundaries have remained unchanged since the middle ages and it is now only a tiny part of the metrpolis of London. It is often referred to as the City or the Square Mile, as it is just over one square mile in area. These terms are often used as metonimies for the United Kingdoms financial services industry, which has historically beed based here. Serviced London Apartments are becoming very popular with workers in the city to stay on a weekly basis, they offer a ‘Home away from Home’ feeling with 50% additional space and can often save money versus a Hotel Room.

In the medieval period, the City was the full extent of London. The term London now refers to a much larger conurbation roughly corresponding to Greater London, a local government area which inludes 32 London boroughs as well as the City of London, which is not one of the 32 boroughs. The local authority for the city, the City of London Corporation , is unique in the United Kingdom and has some unsual responsibilities for a local authority in Britain, such as being the police authority for the City. It also has responsibilities and ownerships beyond the city’s boundaries. The Corporation is headed by the Lord Mayor of the City of London, a seperate (and much older ) office to the Mayor of London.

The City is today a major business and financial centre, ranking on par with New York City as the leading centre of glabal finance, in the 19th century, the City served as the worlds primary business centre. The city has a resident population of approximately 8,000, but around 340,000 people work there, mainly in the financial services sector. The legal profession form a major component of the western side of the city, in and around the Inns of Court of which two – the Inner and Middle Temples – fall within the City of London boundary. Many tourist also visit the City of London and find london accommodation really enjoyable when staying in a London Serviced Apartment through Serviced City Pads.
