Trying to figure out where to stay in London for your first visit to the Queen’s city? It can be a bit daunting am I right??? I’ve been there. Scrolling through endless TikToks and random lists of neighborhoods, trying to decode whether “central London” actually means central. (Spoiler: sometimes it doesn’t.)
So to save you the headache, I teamed up with my friend Ben Bromley, a true London local to help you narrow it down. In this guide, we’re breaking down the best places to stay in London for first-time visitors, from classic landmarks in central London to the coolest areas in London you won’t want to miss. Whether you’re searching for where to stay in London first time or just want the inside scoop on the prettiest corners of the city, our list has you covered.
All the content below was written by Ben, but every design-forward boutique hotel was handpicked by me — so you’re getting the best of both worlds: a true London expert guiding you on where to stay in London for your first visit, plus my travel blogger eye for stylish (yet clean and comfortable) stays.
So take that last sip of your afternoon high tea and let’s get into it 👇

Short on time? Here are my top picks for the best boutique hotels in London for first-time visitors:
Ok so it might not boast the best weather, a pint costs nearly £8 and the people can be a bit rude (I’m saying this as a local), but London (and yes, I’m biased) is one of the greatest cities in the world. You’re never going to run out of things to do, the transport connections are excellent and the city has some of the best culture, history, shopping and dining of anywhere.
Whether you want to ride to the top of the Shard or step back into history at the Tower of London. Whether you want to channel your inner royalty at Buckingham Palace or ride the London Eye.
And whether you want to walk for miles along the unbroken Thames Path or hit up the old school East End, it’s all possible in London.
But by far my favorite thing about living in London is the sheer diversity of boroughs and neighborhoods. How you can go from the multi-million pound mansions of Kensington to the terraces of East London, massive green spaces like Hyde Park to beautiful river walks in Richmond and densely packed urban areas like Camden, with all the buzz it brings.
And diverse communities of all nationalities, creeds and religions mingling with tourists, whether at the Notting Hill Carnival or Soho’s London Pride.
London is a truly welcoming city, and if you’re planning a visit then I’ve got some great recommendations for where you can stay.

There are 32 London boroughs plus the City of London and most of these can be broken down further. You have better things to be doing than reading my thoughts on all 32, so I’ve taken five of my favorites to drill into: Covent Garden, Shoreditch, Hammersmith & Fulham, South Bank & Waterloo and Kensington. But before I get into those, there’s loads of other options for you to consider. Here’s a (very) brief summary:
Soho: Compact, lively, and packed with nightlife. London’s LGBTQ+ heart and perfect if you thrive on late evenings, cocktail bars, and tiny streets full of energy. The downside: it should be pedestrianized.
Mayfair: The most expensive property on the Monopoly board. Refined and exclusive, home to luxury hotels, Michelin-star dining, and high-end shopping. Not for you if you’re on a budget, but if you enjoy the finer things, it’s the neighborhood for you.
Notting Hill: I’m not even joking, I actually saw Hugh Grant drive his Lamborghini through Notting Hill once. Famous for its colorful houses and Portobello Road Market, plus the annual Notting Hill Carnival. Great for those who like bookshops, weekend markets, and a charming, village-like atmosphere.
Camden: Alternative, music-driven, and a little gritty. Best for younger travellers or anyone into live music, street food, and countercultural energy. You will pay £8 for a craft beer and it probably won’t taste very nice.
Greenwich: Massive redevelopment going on here, it’s still emerging but the appeal is there. A good option for families or history lovers wanting to check out the Cutty Sark.
Chelsea: Another of West London’s rich districts. Stylish and residential, with more Ferraris than Fiats. But also football-mad (I’m not calling it soccer, this is a guest post) and full of great pubs.
Richmond: Perfect for river walks and home to one of London’s largest royal parks, with deer sightings guaranteed. Ideal if you want calm, long walks, and a brush with well-heeled locals – celebrities from Mick Jagger to David Attenborough and Tom Hardy to Keira Knightley call Richmond home.
Bloomsbury: A quiet, walkable central base, with easy access to the British Museum and garden squares. Not too much going on after dark but well connected to the rest of the city.
Canary Wharf: London’s modern financial centre with towering skyscrapers and (uber expensive) riverside apartments. One of the top areas in London for business travelers or those who prefer modern hotels and easy Docklands connections.
Southwark: A perfect central location south of London Bridge, known for Borough Market, Southwark Cathedral, and The Shard. Ideal for foodies and anyone wanting a lively yet less tourist-heavy area close to central attractions.

If money is no object and you’re trying to decide where to stay in central London, then Covent Garden is about as good as it gets.
The name comes from the fact that it used to be the garden of nearby Westminster Abbey and today it’s walkable, buzzes with activity at night and is close to many of the city’s top tourist attractions, including the West End, Trafalgar Square and cultural highlights including the National Gallery.
Transport links are excellent, in fact you’ll find it’s often easier to walk to Covent Garden from either Leicester Square or Holborn, as the Covent Garden tube station can be absolutely packed on a weekend evening – top local tip for you there.
There’s load of al fresco dining and drinking and you tend to find a street performer or two in the area. Just be wary, as pickpockets and phone thieves target the busy crowds, so take precautions when exploring.
And the biggest downside of Covent Garden is the cost of everything, especially accommodation and drinks.
Aside from eating, drinking and shopping, you can catch a show at one of the numerous West End theatres, jump into the history of the London Underground at the Transport Museum or take a short stroll along the river to Somerset House, home to a rotating array of art exhibitions throughout the year.
Looking for more things to do? My 2-day London itinerary is packed with can’t-miss attractions and foodie finds.

Shoreditch is an area to the east of central London, north of the City of London financial district. It’s a bit more edgy and creative, with fewer obvious tourist attractions but loads of options for nights out and dining – it’s a really popular place to live for people moving to London from elsewhere in the UK or arriving to work from Australia, the US and elsewhere.
Transport links to the city center are good, though it’s a bit more of a pain to get west (to Heathrow, for example).
In many ways, Shoreditch represents “new” London, and is a great example of an area that has evolved with the times – think industrial buildings converted into event spaces and nightclubs (Village Underground is one of my favorite nights out in London), bougee restaurants and lots of indie coffee spots.
The Tower of London and St Paul’s are two landmarks within easy reach and your accommodation costs will be lower here than in the centre, but by no means cheap.
If you’re a young person moving to London either for the short or long term then Shoreditch is one of the best places to stay in London, if you’re heading on vacation then it can work too, but you might prefer somewhere with better transport links.
A bring your own booze curry on Brick Lane is a London staple, and you can also browse for everything from antiques to street food at the Old Spitalfields Market. If electronic music is your thing then Village Underground is a great night out – bring your ear protection because the sound system is something else.
Can’t get enough of London? My 2-day London itinerary has everything you need — from top attractions to hidden gems and the best food stops.

“West is best” is the local saying, and though everyone in Shoreditch and Hackney will disagree, Hammersmith and Fulham has its appeal.
Hammersmith in particular is just a 40 minute direct tube from Heathrow Airport and that same tube, the Piccadilly Line, can have you in Leicester Square, Piccadilly Circus or Covent Garden in 30 minutes, perfect for your sightseeing.
It also runs all night on Friday and Saturday which can save you a fortune in taxi costs if you’re enjoying London’s nightlife.
As a general rule, west London is greener and less densely packed than the rest of the city. Hammersmith and Fulham are both still busy areas but they feel far more like big towns than cities and the change of pace can be enjoyable, especially if you’re traveling with children or want to avoid the huge crowds of places like Covent Garden.
The Thames Path runs through the borough, an unbroken stretch that can be walked or cycled, filled with beautiful views, ducks, charming old pubs and even a couple of football stadiums – if you’re visiting London in the summer then a walk along a section of the Thames Path is one of the best things you can do.
I’ve lived along here for the past two years and its by far my favorite place to have lived – if you do fancy a pint then The Crabtree and The Blue Anchor are two riverside pubs I would recommend in the area.
Hammersmith’s Eventim Apollo is one of the most iconic venues in the UK, and is used for all manner of concerts and TV shows, including Britain’s Got Talent and the comedy show, Live at the Apollo.
Westfield shopping centre is reachable on foot in nearby White City and Fulham FC’s recently redeveloped Riverside stand is open to the public for food and drink on non-matchdays.

I actually think that for visitors, South Bank is a better base than Covent Garden. Yes, you are south of the river which makes some transportation more complex, but Waterloo is one of the largest train stations in the city, and you’re still well-connected through tube stations like Blackfriars and London Bridge.
There’s more stunning Thames-side walks (wide enough for buggies, wheelchairs and strollers) and places to eat and drink, plus you’re right on the doorstep of tourist attractions like the London Eye, the National Theatre, HMS Belfast and London Dungeon.
Westminster and the Houses of Parliament are also within easy reach by taxi or about 30 minutes on foot.
If Covent Garden is quieter by day and busier by night, then South Bank and Waterloo is the opposite. By evening, things generally quieten down here, meaning it can be a good option for families or if you prefer your peace and quiet after dark.
Accommodation will be more expensive the closer you get to the river, a rule that actually works for London more generally.
As well as the big hitters I’ve already mentioned, the South Bank and Waterloo area is home to some interesting lesser-known attractions, including the authorized graffiti and street art of the Leake Street Arches and the BFI Southbank, which shows classic films and hosts a roster of speakers throughout the year.

In some ways, Kensington is like Hammersmith & Fulham, though I’d argue it’s slightly more well-heeled and it’s not by the river (though it’s not far). It boasts great transport links to both Heathrow (via the Picadilly Line) and central London and is home to some of London’s most visited museums, namely the Natural History Museum and the Science Museum.
Kensington Gardens and Hyde Park are two of the largest green spaces in the city, which give this area a more relaxed and less busy feel, and make Kensington a great base for families to explore.
The downside of Kensington is the expense, not just of accommodation, but of just about everything. The Royal Borough of Kensington and Chelsea doesn’t exactly sound cheap, does it? Food, drink, shopping, you name it, it will cost more here.
If you’re completely set on staying in this area but want to lower your costs somewhat, then you can look for accommodation in the Earls Court or Gloucester Road area, which has a similar feel but without the price tag.
Kensington Palace was the birthplace of Queen Victoria and is the official London residence of The Prince and Princess of Wales. It’s open to the public, allowing visitors the chance to explore grand palaces, tuck into afternoon tea at the Orangery and wander around the manicured gardens.
Need more recs before you go? My 2-day London itinerary walks you through when to visit, what to see, and where to eat like a local.

If you’re traveling with little ones and want to avoid the busiest crowds then of the areas in London I’ve mentioned, Kensington is probably the best option. It offers the closest proximity to some of the city’s main attractions, reducing your travel time, and offers a direct tube to Heathrow, which is always handy.
Kensington Gardens is also home to the Diana Memorial Playground. If you’re flying in early or late and want the shortest journey possible from Heathrow, then Hammersmith is a good option, whilst the quiet evenings of Waterloo make this a viable option too.
Places to avoid with children include Soho, Camden, Brixton, Shoreditch and Hackney – all great fun, but not recommended for kids.

Realistically, the transport in London is so good that anywhere in zones 1 or 2 (inner London) is likely to be perfectly fine for a first time visit to the city, and one where you aim to tick off some of the main tourist sights.
London is huge, so although it might be tempting to book a hotel further out to save money and transfer time from the airport, I’d avoid far-our suburbs such as Croydon or Ilford if you’re coming to the city for tourism.
It’s important to note too that of London’s main airports, Luton, Stansted and Gatwick aren’t REALLY in London – so definitely don’t be staying around there when deciding where to stay in London!
And it goes without saying that like in all big cities, crime can strike anywhere in London. There aren’t necessarily places to avoid but it’s always good to keep your wits about you, especially at night.

London is such a diverse city that deciding where to stay in London first time really can make a difference to the enjoyment of your trip. Some of its boroughs and areas feel like quintessential countryside towns, whilst in others the chaos and business can be both a blessing and a curse.
London’s main attractions aren’t all gathered in one place, so you will have to do some traveling around – seven years into living here I still use Citymapper for the majority of my journeys, and I’d recommend you download it and get to grips with the London Underground.
It’ll save you a fortune and is usually quicker than traveling by taxi anyway.
Wherever you stay in London, you’ll have a blast, and the ultimate decision should come down to your personal preferences, the reason for your trip and your budget.
