Rare John Bull Posted June 26 #6 Share Posted June 26 Nowhere in central London is inexpensive, but some areas are less expensive than others. Safe and tolerably convenient areas include Paddington, Earl's Court and around King's Cross station, Just make sure it's a hotel handy to a tube (London's extensive metro system) station. Even further out can be OK if near a tube station. Tube trains are frequent & fast Find a few that seem to suit, we can then comment on their locations JB 🙂 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rare Harters Posted June 26 #7 Share Posted June 26 (edited) It may have changed in recent years but the area around Kings Cross station rightly had something of a reputation as a red light district. I now stay 10 minutes walk down the road near Euston station which doesnt seem to attract the "ladies of the night". It might be worth Diane also considering staying in an area that was convenient for her London arrival/departure, rather than having a distance to schlep with luggage.

Yes, Kings + was known for ladies of the night. But indeed it has changed, over the past decade or longer. Good point about travel. Where from, Diane, and where to ?

If you tell us from where from, we should be able to figure which station. For LHR, near Paddington station has direct train & tube connections to LHR and is probably the closest to the sights of central London JB 🙂 Edited June 27 by John Bull Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
diane.in.ny Posted June 27 Author #11 Share Posted June 27 Just got the information I need. Going from LHR to Reading. Then back to London for a few days. Then London to LHR. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
