London

[Shaun Hately]

Hello all,

I'm heading to London in September for a brief (too brief, really, but I 
have to fit it into school holidays) holiday, and I am trying to work out 
where to base myself. I just thought I'd ask people who might know the place 
better than I do (a lot of people) and who are better travelled than I am 
(also a lot of people) if they have any suggestions as to what areas I 
should look at as being a decent place to lay my head at night.

I intend to be using public transport to get around (particularly the 
underground) and I will probably want to hit some of the 'stereotypical' 
tourist sites - Tower of London, Westminster Abbey, British Museum (also 
open to any other suggestions people might have on this point). I also want 
to do a 'Jack the Ripper' walk one night.

Basically I'm asking, what areas are reasonably central (in terms of 
accessing public transport), and have a reasonable choice in terms of 
accomodation options. Cost is not a major concern, but on the other hand nor 
is luxury - I just want somewhere decent to sleep at night, I'm not planning 
on spending much more time than that at any hotel.
