Where to stay in London
West End (Soho, Covent Garden & Mayfair)
The heart of London’s theatres, restaurants and shopping on Oxford Street and Regent Street. Ideal for first-time visitors who want to be in the centre of everything.
Kensington & Knightsbridge
Elegant neighbourhoods next to Hyde Park, home to the Natural History Museum, the V&A, the Science Museum and Harrods. A favourite with families and Gulf visitors.
Westminster & South Bank
Close to Big Ben, Westminster Abbey, the London Eye and riverside walks along the Thames. Great for sightseeing on foot.
The City & Tower Bridge
The historic financial district around St Paul’s Cathedral, the Tower of London and Tower Bridge. Quieter at weekends, often with good weekend rates.
Paddington & Marylebone
Convenient for the Heathrow Express and the Elizabeth line, with easy access to Hyde Park and Oxford Street. A practical base for families and short stays.
Best time to visit London
May to September brings the warmest weather and long daylight hours for parks and river trips, though it is also the busiest season. Spring and early autumn are pleasant and quieter. December is festive, with Christmas lights and Winter Wonderland in Hyde Park.
