We want to make sure you can contact us once you’re on your way to the apartments, so we can be there before you, and ensure that you know where to meet or where to park.

Arrival Instructions

On foot: Once on College Road, look for the tallest and newest building, opposite the entrance to the St Ann’s shopping centre and next to the entrance of Harrow-on-the-Hill station. If you’ve arranged to meet us, we’ll be waiting inside the reception area for you, so please call or message us, as the doors are always locked. If you arrive earlier than planned and you haven’t informed us, Costa Coffee next door is a good place to wait. We’re not based in the apartment building and turning up without arranging to meet us is strictly discouraged!

By car: If you've arranged to park in the apartment building underground car-park, the entrance is to the left of the building as you look at the building from College Road. Once on the downward slope to the car-park, you’ll need to meet your London Exec Apartments representative, so they can give you a fob to enter the car-park.

By taxi: The best place for the taxi to drop you is by the slope down to the underground car-park, which is  to the left of the building as you look at the building from College Road.

It's imperative that you speak or exchange messages with your London Exec Apartments representative on receipt of your confirmation, and then again two hours before arrival. This is to ensure your arrival is as smooth as possible. If calling is a challenge because you're underground, English isn’t your strong point, or you're wary of international phone charges, we'll happily communicate via Whatsapp, text or email. The building isn't easy to find, and if you're parking, you'll need to find out how to pick up your car-park fob on arrival.
