What are the best places to find a hotel in London?

Check out Hotel Map. Very cool program that shows you the hotels with live feeds from the hotels themselves showing the best rates. It also will show you where the hotels are on the map with overlays for the underground and other cool stuff. You can find it on my site below: Let me know if I can help any further!

Avoid Docklands and Wembley. They're not very central. Piccadilly circus is a great bit of London, and it's dead center. Hyde Park and Notting Hill are good options, too. You may find somewhere around SoHo/ Leicester Square if you're lucky, there are a lot of boutique hotels around that area. Try Marble Arch, too, but make sure that you don't stray too far away from these areas, because the commute can be a real pain, and especially during rush hours.

Most budget hotels in central London are found in the following areas: Kings Cross (nearest tube - Kings Cross) Bloomsbury (nearest tube - Russell Square/Goodge St) Victoria (nearest tube - Victoria or Pimlico) Paddington (nearest tube - Paddington or Lancaster Gate) Bayswater (nearest tube - Bayswater or Queensway) Earl's Court (nearest tube - Earl's Court) All these areas are in zone 1. Kings Cross, Bloomsbury and Victoria are the most central.

The areas you mention above are all okay with good transport links into the central area. as far as central London is concerned, there are some less expensive hotels in the Bloomsbury/Russell Square area, which is close to the British Museum

Hi, personally I think Hampstead is one of the nicest places you could stay in during your stay in London. Its quaint and has a Dickensian feel - without the squalor. On recommended hotels, I have done some research on this. I looked in national newspapers, and I made a list of hotels which got recommended. Here they are. You will find cheap ones and expensive ones.
