Where to stay
Where to stay in London, verified.
London is a city of villages, and the Tube means you can sleep in one and spend the day in another. Shoreditch and Hackney for bars and markets, Soho for being in the middle of it, Notting Hill and Marylebone for quieter mornings, Southwark for the river. The otter counts what's within a ten-minute walk and shows the total in dollars.
