if you want to stay near the major
sights and attractions when you're in
London I'm gonna tell you three great
areas to check out when booking your
hotel by the way if you're new here I'm
Jess and I make videos for people who
are coming to visit London before I tell
you the areas these are five things you
should know about choosing to stay in a
hotel let's mirror all the attractions
and these sites number one these areas
will give you the most convenient
location when it comes to seeing the
major sights and attractions many of
which you can just walk to number two
because of that convenience the hotels
in these areas will give you the least
for your money number three some of the
city's most amazing hotels are in these
areas like the Covent Garden hotel and
sea containers number four not all of
the attractions in the city will be
within walking distance because some of
them are just spread out to other parts
of the city number five don't expect a
local experience these are not really
areas that Londoners usually end up
living in because they're so expensive
and so central and also the prices on
food and drink will usually reflect that
and number six these are some great
areas but it doesn't mean all other
areas are bad to stay in this is just a
curated list based on my own experience
and opinion so here are three great
areas to stay in number one is Covent
Garden Covent Garden has tons of great
food drink and shopping options my
personal favorite part of it is Seven
Dials where you can find boutique shops
little cafes and wine bars and there are
some lovely luxury hotel options here
from any part of Covent Garden you can
walk to many West End theatres Carnaby
Oxford Street and you can even walk to
Waterloo Bridge which brings you over
the River Thames to the south bank and
lots of other major attractions
number two is solo which is just around
the corner from Covent Garden Soho is
almost always bustling and it has a
bunch of great bars and restaurants
within just a few blocks it's also
considered the lgbtq+ capital of London
staying in Soho and you can eat well
party and you're also smack dab in the
middle of the city so you can easily
walk to Chinatown Piccadilly Circus
Carnaby Oxford Street ends your failure
Square just to name a few
Soho is definitely crazier in the
evening then come and garden is so keep
that in mind when you're choosing
between the two number three South Bank
and Bank side these areas are nestled
right next to each other and are great
to stay in if you want to be near to
anything along the south bank so that
includes the London Eye Borough Market
Tate Modern and both London and Tower
Bridge you really have to know where
you're going in these areas in terms of
getting good food and drinks but there
are good options if you know where to go
Southwark and Bankside are part of my
three-day London itinerary so if you're
struggling with planning your first
three days in London that you should
definitely check that out you can do
that by clicking the card popping up in
the corner if you want some hotel
recommendations for each of these areas
