I\u2019ve always liked London<\/a>, but when I visited last year something in me just clicked\u2014and poof<\/em>! I finally saw the light and came to love it.<\/p>\n

London has a million things to do<\/a> to keep you busy a lifetime over. With its amazing architecture, world-class art museums, tons of historical sites, and unique shopping experiences, what\u2019s not to love?<\/p>\n

What\u2019s not to love about a city where the pubs are so small everyone just stands on the street with their pint glass?!<\/p>\n

And from its beautiful gardens to the excitement of Piccadilly Circus, there\u2019s just an energy that can\u2019t be beat. <\/p>\n

But London is huge, containing more than 8 million people and 48 neighborhoods stretching over 607 square miles. <\/p>\n

I mean it\u2019s HUGE. <\/p>\n

Any city that warrants a \u201cI survived the subway\u201d T-shirt usually is. Stay in the wrong neighborhood and you\u2019ll spend hours on \u201cthe tube.\u201d<\/p>\n

So which are the best neighborhoods and places to stay when you visit London?<\/a> <\/p>\n

That depends on a lot of things (especially what your idea of fun is). <\/p>\n

Each neighborhood has its own charm.<\/p>\n

So I\u2019ll break down the best neighborhoods and accommodations in London (for travelers, according to me):<\/p>\n

The City of London<\/h3>\n

\nThis is technically the center of London (sometimes called \u201cThe Square Mile\u201d), and it\u2019s where the Romans set up a small military outpost named Londinium in 43 CE. You can still see evidence of the Romans here, including the crumbling wall on Tower Hill. Now, the area a financial district. There are several good markets here like Whitecross Street, with its large number of international food vendors; the Sunday Upmarket in the Old Truman Brewery for handmade crafts and clothing; and Leather Lane for a more traditional mix of everything from leather to tropical flowers. I like the history, quiet, and central location of this neighborhood.<\/p>\n
