Hugh - You might try www.londonhometohome.com. We used them once and they were reasonable and meet our needs.

I second Joel's recommendation of Home to Home, and would add a similar B&B network, At Home in London, www.athomeinlondon.co.uk/ . We have used both and enjoyed them very much. Each is a network of London homes, generally with only 1 or 2 guest rooms, and great hosts. You submit your request to the manager and she sees what's available and provides some options. Good luck and have a great trip!

I have 3 kids, and it can be a challenge to find family rooms sometimes. I use booking.com because they often find larger rooms when other sites can't. Norfolk Square is a very convenient location - 2 min from Paddington and a wealth of restaurants nearby. There are a ton of "no frills" hotels on Norfolk Square. Our friends stayed at the St. George and found it clean and convenient.
