Airbnb has revealed the most wish-listed homes in London ahead of King Charles III's Coronation — and they include a beautiful design-led Hackney hideaway.
According to Airbnb, searches for stays in London during the celebrations have increased by almost 70 per cent, with the top guests arrivals coming from the US, the UK, France, Australia and Germany. With less than one month to go until the historical ceremony, now is the perfect time to book your stay.
'The King's Coronation is not only a historic moment for Brits, but it also offers a boost to UK tourism as royal fans from across the globe head to the capital to enjoy this unique occasion,' Amanda Cupples, General Manager for Northern Europe, says.
'This May is the perfect chance for both guests and Hosts to come together and enjoy the royal festivities, whether that’s traveling to the capital for the celebrations or taking advantage of the £100 new Host bonus scheme and opening their home to a guest during the Coronation.'
