Looking for a stay for 4 - what are the best locations in London to focus my search? 2 adults + 2 teens.
Bloomsbury, Soho and Covent Garden are central locations close in to many attractions. Some don’t mind taking the tube from neighborhoods a bit further away from the center— neighborhoods like Kensington, Earl’s Court and Notting Hill.
To add to that list if very central neighbourhoods, Mayfair and Marylebone, plus to the south Waterloo, and heading east towards the City, Blackfriars, Farringdon etc. Basically anything within the Circle Line tube route could reasonably be considered Central London. What sort of budget are you looking at? This will likely be a driver of where you stay.
