Where to Stay in London
From historic hotels fit for a queen to boutique apartments encompassing the latest in technology, accommodation in London runs the gamut of possibilities and budgets. To stay close to the city’s latest and greatest attractions though, we recommend opting for a centrally located hotel in zone one, with popular areas including Covent Garden, Soho or Marylebone.
Many of London’s 5-star hotels can be found to the west of the city, with areas such as Mayfair, Kensington and Knightsbridge offering a luxurious stay within walking distance of Buckingham Palace, Hyde Park and Harrods. If your hotel is simply a place to rest your head, areas such as Holborn and Russell Square are home to some fantastic budget-friendly hotels, with the British Museum and Oxford Circus right nearby.
