Are you a recent graduate or graduating later this year? Are you worried about finding employment after you have graduated? Then look no further than the National Graduate Recruitment Exhibition London 2010. Come to the exhibition and you will have the chance to learn how to jump head first into the job market as well as meeting potential recruiters and having the chance to discuss face-to-face job opportunities with company representatives. The Exhibition is being held at the Barbican Hotel, Golden Lane, London and is on Friday 5^th March from 11.00am to 5.00pm and Saturday 6^th March from 11.00am to 4.00pm.

It is a fantastic opportunity to gain some valuable knowledge of how the graduate employment market works and also get some handy hints and tips at how you can present your CV and fill out job applications. If you are coming to the exhibition you will need somewhere to stay and were better than having your own serviced apartment. We can cater for all needs and budgets and we have serviced apartments all over the city of London. With having a serviced apartment you can have the same luxury as you would expect at home with fully fitted kitchen, fully furnished living and dining rooms as well as bathroom and bedroom. You can come back and relax or cook a meal and do many things that you cannot when staying at a hotel.

The exhibition runs for 2 days and gives people the opportunity to talk with those in the know. There will be numerous major employers there as well as experts in recruitment to give advice, hold talks and offer support. It is a ‘must’ if you are just about to graduate. You will have the chance to learn many tricks of the trade in finding employment. Don’t go into the employment market without any knowledge come to the exhibition and experience what thousands of people in the UK go through each year. You never know your visit to the exhibition may be the extra edge that you need when you are seeking employment.

Another advantage of having a serviced apartment in London rather than a hotel is that you can spread the costs better and help save some money. The prices of the apartments are not based on the amount of people staying in them like you will find at a hotel but on the apartment itself (although there are restrictions as to how many people can stay at the apartments) – and the prices work out at a better rate per person with a larger apartments therefore if you and a few of your friends decide to come to the Exhibition you can all stay under the same roof and split the total price between you. We have serviced apartments all over London and we can organise that you stay somewhere that is conveniently located to the exhibition or sights if you prefer. Remember this could be the added edge you need to get that first step into employment.

What have you got planned for your loved one this Valentine’s day?

Some petrol station flowers at the last minute or a box of Milk Tray? How original! I’m pretty sure either of these aren’t going to earn you any brownie points for the year ahead and that could be the making of a very long year indeed. So how about you be a little adventurous and sweep your loved one off their feet and off down to the nation’s capital London for a few days of rest and relaxation. There’s no better way to do this than to take one of our luxurious Serviced Apartments which are based all across the city centre.

Well now you’ve made it to London what next? Well if you’re still feeling adventurous how about taking the ‘Lovers Leap’ Bungee Jump? Its only £97.00 for the tandem jump and a free half bottle of Champers to celebrate afters (or before you go up if you need a little Dutch courage). It’s the perfect Valentine’s gift as you do it together, hugging each other all the way down and that little sense of danger can get the heart beating & blood pumping extra fast. After your jump you can head back to your fully serviced apartment to wind down and relax for the night with the same comforts as home.

If a bungee jump is a little too fast paced for your tastes then what about a romantic Thames dinner cruise for two? You can purchase seats on one of 2 cruise boats that travel along the Thames on Valentine’s evening. The tickets include a Champagne reception, 4 course a la Carte dinner, live entertainment and dancing – as well as a single red rose for your partner. After you get back to dry land you may want to go back to your serviced apartment for a relaxing evening together in your fully furnished living room snuggling up on the sofa.

Then again you can also do Valentine’s Day in style with a Valentine’s Day wine tasting for 2 at Vinopolis, London’s premier wine tasting venue.  You can immerse yourself in the world of wines for the day and for a very low Valentines special cost of £25 per couple you get to taste 5 wines of your choice as well as a Bombay Sapphire cocktail and you also get to experience an audio commentary from Oz Clarke and get to take home a Vinopolis wine tasting notebook. Vinopolis is located close to London Bridge which means that after you have finished the wine tasting you are close to go to the West End for a nice meal and maybe even some more of the wine you have just been tasting!

Once back from your busy schedule in the city you can relax and unwind in the comfort of one of our serviced apartment’s safe in the knowledge that for the time being you are in your other half’s good graces. For now anyhow!

Madame Tussards London is a major tourist attraction located in Central London. It is famous for recreating famous people, or celebrities, in wax. It is the original Madame Tussauds attraction, having been situated on Marleybone Road sine 1884. It was set up by wax scupltor Marie Tussaud. Following a successful tour of the UK, Madame Tussauds established a permenant base for her exhibition in London as the Baker Street Bazaar in 1835.

Ther World leaders area is also noted for its inclusion of controversial figures, including Adolf Hitler, Saddam Hussien and Robert Mugabe. Mother Teresa is one of the very few icons to ask not to be made, saying ‘her work was mor important, not the person’. Another notable omission from this area is current British Prime Minister Gordon Brown – the company said it has not been made into a wax figure due to his low popularity and not being elected into the position of Prime Minister, having assumed the position after the retirement of Tony Blair.
