So where are the best places to stay when it comes to spending a few days enjoying all that London has to offer its visitors?  In this article we look at some of the best locations to stay, which will provide an ideal base for visiting many of the sights that this old but beautiful city has to offer. 

If you are interested in exploring the historic side of this city and view some of its wonderful buildings then look for accommodation in the area of Westminster.  Accommodation here will allow you to have easy access to visit such buildings as Buckingham Palace, the Houses of Parliament, Westminster Abbey and Cathedral.  Plus take a trip over to the other side of the river and you can take a ride on the London Eye and obtain a bird’s eye view of this city.

For those who are interested in spending their time wandering around the many art galleries including the Tate Modern and the National Art Gallery staying in Southwark is recommended.  Here you can hop on one of the many ferries that ply their trade up and down the River Thames to reach your preferred gallery.  Also you have the opportunity to get a new view of the many historic buildings including the Tower of London as you can sail along the river.

If however you are after somewhere a little more swanky and would like some views of greenery then opting for accommodation that borders Hyde Park is to be considered.  Not only will you be offered great views over some of the area’s most green places such as Kensington Gardens, Green Park and St James’s Park within a few minutes you can be sitting in these enjoying the sun when it’s out.  Certainly if you have children with you then these parks offer plenty of space for the kids to run around.

For those who are bringing children with them for their London City break then looking at holiday apartments to the north of Hyde Park should be considered.  Families will be able to get to such places as Madame Tussauds Waxwork Museum or the London Dungeons.  Plus all of these are easily placed to allow you to get a bus, taxi or tube train to visit London Zoo. 

When it comes to London City breaks where children are involved being at the heart of all these great attractions will help to keep the costs down.  Certainly when the weather is good walking to the various places should be considered.
