Short let needed in London! (urgently)

The Arabicas have sold their flat (hooray!) and are moving out next week.
We were supposed to coordinate with the place we are buying, but they weren't ready, for reasons unknown.
We didn't want to lose our purchaser so we went ahead and set a completion date for next week believing that the deal was about to be done and we would have only a week or so to wait.
However, it's all gone VERY quiet and now we need a contingency plan.
So. Does anyone know of a place we can stay (we will pay) on a weekly basis? It doesn't have to be fancy but it does need to be cat-free (I have a really bad allergy) and it needs to be in London so that DH can get to work.
Maybe you have a spare granny flat you want to let out on a casual basis, or you are going away and would like some house sitters.

Phew. Sorted at last minute. What a relief.

So glad for you. We had a LOT of trouble finding a place and eventually the EAs who sold our house and sold us our new house found us a flat where we could sign a 3 month lease, but only when we said we would pay about 75% above market value. It was so much more painful than I would have expected...

Oh I was coming on to suggest perhaps look for a holiday let but see you are now sorted. Good luck with it all!
