There are so many hotels in London. Probably best you look at the broad spectrum of reviews on Tripadvisor and Booking.Com (reviews can only be placed on B.Com by people who have stayed having booked through them, so all are genuine). Covent Garden and theatre district is a good suggestion. All of the sights are easy to get too by the London tube (what they call the subway in NYC). It’s fast, clean and efficient, with excellent, clear subway maps available at every station. Stations are on every couple of blocks.

 

Hope you enjoy your visit to the UK.

If you use the tube, be sure to buy a daycard rather than pay for each fare, as it’s likely to work out cheaper.

You can now use contactless cards to pay for tube and bus travel instead of buying an Oyster card. These cap out at the travelcard daily cost (TOP TIP - take your first journey at 09:31 then you are on off-peak cap for the day).

If you want to be near to Victoria Station. The Grange chain of hotels have the Rochester and the Wellington, both in Vincent Square, Westminster and are less than ten minutes walk from Victoria Station.

Westminster Abbey, Houses of Parliament , Buckingham Palace are less than 15 mins walk away. Deals to be had on Saver rates, but really does depend on your budget. Stayed at Wellingon twice and very happy with location.

If you favor the Hilton family, the Doubletree - Victoria is very close to the station. It is also outside the Congestion Charge Zone so you can rent a car at one of the Victoria rental agencies and drive back to pick up your luggage.

No, but we are booked there in August. Cruise ends in Greenwich, several days there to see London, then rent a car and off to Devon, Cornwall and the Cotswolds [and no Congestion Charges!]
