Who London is for
London suits a wide range of travellers, but choosing the right area to stay is especially important due to the city’s size, transport zones, and neighbourhood diversity.
This guide is designed for:
- First-time visitors who want central access to landmarks and attractions
- Couples looking for lively areas with dining, culture, and evening atmosphere
- Families who prioritise safety, space, and transport convenience
- Budget travellers searching for good-value areas with reliable transport links

- Understand which London areas suit different travel styles
- Compare accommodation options by location and budget
