Where to stay in London
Westminster
What most people think of when they think of London, the City of Westminster is London's central borough where the important decisions are made. With timeless sights including Big Ben and the Houses of Parliament, Westminster Abbey and Buckingham Palace, and newer landmarks like the London Eye, some of the world's most iconic buildings are on your doorstep when you stay at Westminster hotels – though these can be pricey.
Covent Garden
London's most popular area with tourists, Covent Garden is the heart of Theatreland and abundant in traditional and modern pubs, bustling markets and restaurants serving the best of world cuisine. Covent Garden hotels put you a short walk or Tube ride from the theatres and cultural attractions like the British Museum and the big galleries.
Victoria
If you're here for the art, the Tate Britain, Tate Modern, V&A Museum and other notable galleries are a short walk from Victoria hotels. You'll be well served by one of London's best transport interchanges and can check off other top sights including the MI5 Building, the Shakespeare pub and the Apollo Victoria Theatre, where Wicked the musical is in permanent residence.
