I have lived in London for near 20 years now.
Depends your price range for a hotel?
They have the fancy hotels, then ones like Travel Lodge and Holiday Inn.
For most tourists they tend to stick around London Underground Zone 1.
You have a huge selection in central London, the West End, then towards Queensway, up towards to Notting Hill on the west direction from Oxford Street.
Off Oxford Street you have Tottenham Court Road which can take you towards Covent Garden and Russell Square near Euston.
Just up from Euston you have the mighty Camden Town.
To me Camden`s the best area in London. All kinds of walk of people there from the poor to the mega rich. Camden has big spacious markets there, lots of places to eat with bars and live music too. They have 2 beautiful parks there as well Regents Park next to London Zoo and Primrose Hill where some of the rich and famous live.
In Russell Square you have the British Museum there, up in South Kensington you have the Natural History and Science Museums all free to get into.
At the west side of Oxford Street you have Hyde Park Corner and it`s massive park.
From the best view in London stand on the footpath on Waterloo Bridge by Somerset House in the Strand. With this beautiful view you can see like London Eye, Westminster, Big Ben when you look to the west and the east you look towards St. Paul`s Cathedral, the City and Canary Wharf.
Up by St. John`s Tube Station it is just a short walk from the Abbey Road Studios.
