Finding a short-term rental in London

My family is spending a month in London this summer.  Can anyway recommend a reputable website or agency for finding short-term, furnished rentals in London?  Thanks!

A Place Like Home:  http://www.aplacelikehome.co.uk/ I've used them many times and never been disappointed.

I've also used http://www.homefromhome.co.uk/site/page/Self_catering once or twice.  Not much difference. 

You can search for others.  The proper search term is "selfcatering"  One thing you need to realize is that the listing arrangements with these brokers are not exclusive, so the owner of a flat or house can have many brokers listing it, and you don't have a final deal until whoever you are dealing with confirms that some other broker has not arranged a rental for the same time.  If that sounds confusing, it is ... but it's one of the I recommend dealing directly with the London brokers rather the American folks who just try to resell the same listings at a markup. 

I'm sure I'll be one of many to say this: Airbnb! It's wonderful. Best part is, you can see other guests' reviews and make sure their experience was positive. Enjoy London!
