OVO Arena Wembley Hotels & Accommodation

Accommodation in London can be on the pricey side. However, this huge city has plenty of options available from hostels to luxury hotels and, combined with its sprawling transport network, there are places to stay for all budgets and tastes.

📍 Where To Stay

The most central areas of London include Mayfair, Marylebone, Soho, Covent Garden, and Fitzrovia; all will put you in good stead to easily access the city’s biggest tourist attractions and nightlife. However, this convenience comes at a cost and hotel prices will be some of the most expensive in the city.

Bordering to the west is Kensington & Chelsea. This elegant, family-friendly area is also near to a number of top tourist attractions and has good access to the city centre, as well as a bustling restaurant scene. As one of the most high-end areas of London, it is also one of the most expensive to stay.

To the east of the centre, you will find areas like Farringdon and Bank; and to the south are Waterloo and London Bridge. These areas are slightly more affordable and, as well as having their own things to do, still provide excellent and easy access to the city's highlights.

If you’re keen to be close to the biggest nightlife, Soho is a popular, but the edgier Camden, Shoreditch, and Angel are also great choices and have more affordable accommodation options.

Historical, maritime Greenwich in south-east London offers a more peaceful backdrop than central locations, making it good for families, and is about 25 minutes by train from the city centre.

There are many more great areas to stay in London and, as an expensive city, budget will often be a determining factor. Our best advice is to find accommodation near to a good underground stop or bus route to make moving around this vast city as easy as possible.
