Where is the best area to get a hotel in London?

I will be in London for a few days this summer. I want a hotel that isn't too expensive, but still near everything! Where is the best area to stay?

Ericca, if you want a close area to town that is safe, yet close to theatres and shopping, then I would consider Tottenham Court Rd area.

Here there is everything including transport, pubs, theatres as I said, also art colleges, University life, and its safe.

When you come please get a A-Z, which is a directory of tubes, streets everything.

Look up www.transportforlondon.com where you will start to get an idea about the transport system.

Any probs, IM me.

Check the site and you will find the Tube Satation for tot crt rd.

Cheap hotels near Baker Street, London - get what you pay for - not a lot - but great for Oxford St. Hyde Park and tubes
