Which neighbourhood should we choose in London?
For palaces and luxury shopping, Mayfair and Knightsbridge (Claridge's, The Connaught, The Berkeley, Mandarin Oriental). For lively nightlife and theatres, Covent Garden and Soho. For calm by the Thames, South Bank or Westminster. Avoid the outer zones (East London, Greenwich, Wembley) unless you have a specific reason — Tube zones 1-2 remain the most practical.
