Hotel Strategy
First visit? Stay in Covent Garden.
For a short first visit, Covent Garden gives the best combination of walkability to Theatreland, Soho, Trafalgar Square, the Strand, the British Museum and the river, with strong Tube access. It is expensive and busy, but it minimizes time spent commuting between headline sights.
Avoid sleeping near Leicester Square and Piccadilly Circus fringe, Immediate Victoria station and coach-terminal blocks, Euston Road side of King's Cross, Directly on Borough High Street or beside Borough Market, Club-heavy streets in Soho or Shoreditch. Ultra-central but noisy, crowded and packed with tourist-facing restaurants; hotel rooms can sit directly over clubs, traffic and late-night footfall.
