These are the best places you can stay in London, from a Londoner. Where to stay in London really depends on your situation and the reasons you are visiting this iconic city, as there are so many things to see and do. London is a massive city with lots of neighbourhoods and areas to stay in, but if you plan properly you won’t have any issues finding the best place to stay.
BEST OVERALL HOTEL IN LONDON: The Resident (Covent Garden)
The main thing you have to consider while choosing the best area to stay in London is basically your means of transportation. If you are like me, then chances are you will be using the Tube and its extensive network of lines and stations that can take you pretty much everywhere in the city. In case you are wondering what on earth is “the Tube”, it’s just the metro or subway of London and it is one of the best underground rail networks in the world (not to mention, the oldest as well).
The great thing about London and its neighbourhoods is that each one has a different vibe and can either be quiet or super noisy and vibrant, so there is really something for every traveller. So for example, Chelsea, Notting Hill, and the West areas of London are completely different from East London, Shoreditch, or Hackney and Camden’s hipster areas.
