It’s that time of the year when people are making travel plans for the summer. London is one of my favorite cities, but it’s not easy finding a good place to stay that’s good value at the same time. I’ve listed my favorite hotels in different areas of the city for different budgets. Personally I like staying in Notting Hill or Covent Garden because there’s so much to do and the shopping is fabulous. I will post a list of my favorite restaurants and cafes in a few days.
