Best Areas to Stay in While Visiting London

Anywhere with a travelodge or a premier inn are always good cheap and clean options.

How about the Trafalgar Square area? We will be in London in October for 3 days. Very excited!!

I'm going to stay in a hotel next to regents park. Is that a good area?

We are planning to stay at St. Ermin's in October. It appears to be in the Westminster area... but I haven't heard you mention this area in your video or online guide. Is this an ok spot to stay? It's our first time, so we'll be seeing all the major touristy sights.Thanks!

What about Islington?

I usually stay south of the river, near Southbank (Newington) just over the Waterloo bridge.. it has more of middle class non-touristy feel like my home in Queens, NY.. but still within walking distance of everything.

We are staying in an area called Vauxhall, what do you think about it?

Hi. I plan to visit London end of january 2018 with my nieces. Anyhow, is it good place to stay with the children in victoria area (Ebury st or belgrave road).? Thanks

Hey Jess, I will be spending two nights in London next month, and after binge watching SO many of your videos I’ve decided I want to stay in Soho, Covent Garden, or Shoreditch. So I’m wondering which of those you feel would be safest for a solo female traveler, and also, I know questions starting by “what is the best...” are highly unproductive, but as I feel my interests align well with the types of activities, food, etc. that you seem to be into, I’m wondering which of those areas you personally would stay, if you were visiting. I have Airbnbs picked out in all three areas, and am using the discount link you attached in your Airbnb videos- thanks for that!

Any thoughts on Canary Wharf area?

No mention of Holborn or Bloomsbury, is it not still posh? It's been 10 years for me.

what supermarket to go to buy cheap food?

Where do I not want to stay or visit?

We stayed in Islington, walking distance to King’s Cross and Angel Stations, we loved it. The area felt very safe, there was great shopping and supermarket near by.

How about Bloomsbury? That is where we booked...is it nice?

Was in London last month and we got a HomeAway rental flat in Bloomsbury--way cheaper than a hotel. Loved it. It's very residential and quiet, but near the tube (Russell Square) and some shops if you need to buy groceries. Would stay there again.

Shoot! Booked a hotel near the Victoria tube station.

Thanks

I like staying in the Kings Cross area as it is easy to get around London by tube from

THANK YOU SO MUCtH. really help.

In May 2018 I stayed in Westminster and felt completely safe. It was my first visit and I can’t wait to go back to see the less touristy areas like Kensington or Notting Hill .

What do you think of the Docklands Area or Cannary Wharf?

Thank you again, awesome vlog

I like mostly these two axes: 1 Covent Garden-Aldwych-St Paul and 2 Camden Town-Chalk Farm-Belsize Park-Hampstead. I work in Chalk Farm and i worked in Aldwych.

I've stayed everywhere in London as I've been there so many times and I found Kings Cross or near Euston Station to be really convenient. Also, anywhere along the Picadilly line for both sightseeing and Heathrow. I stayed in Kensington twice for an event in the Olympia but found that it was kind of far and not cheap. My dad always stays in the Waldorf Hilton on central london

Hey, could you please tell me what you think about staying in Eltham. I am going to stay there in my visit to london next year in April. Thanks

What is poch?

This will help me with where should I stay more often!

I would like to go to london.. i hope my dream comes true

In Sept 2015 when I visited London I stayed in the Victoria area. It was nice, central and well connected.

I would love to know your thoughts about staying in Greenwich? We get a discount through Hilton hotels and got the best deal for the Greenwich DoubleTree. Is that too far from the center?

I think you should do a hair make over and sho us some popular salons in london

Stayed in Kensington! It was great. Very close to the museum's and the double decker bus stop

How is willesden?

Other places you could consider include Camden (great for young folk, great market/eating options, vibrant), Islington (as others here have recommended), Kilburn/west hampstead (save £40 a night accommodation, well-connected, great value eating options), Hammersmith, Stockwell/Brixton and Battersea. In all these places you may need to allow 10 or 15 minutes on bus or tube to get to central London, but you should save quite a bit on accommodation. Plus they will feel a bit more authentic London, less overwhelmed by tourists.

Hi!! What do you think of Bayswater?

I almost had a heart attack listening to this lady YOU TALK TO MUCH

Hey Jess, I noticed no mention of Soho. Is this a place you would avoid staying?! I booked a hotel in Soho so I just want to make sure it’s not bad...

First time Going to London in 10 days. I wish you can post some pictures while talking to theses areas cause I have no ideas

I live in the uk, so this is helpful to me lmao

Is west Kensington good place.

I am visiting London in August, would Earl’s court be a good place to stay?
