Hi,

Heading to your fine city in July...I know London is big...are there any
areas/sections of the city that are "preferrable" to stay in for a week?
Easy to navigate compared to others?? Been to London before 11 years ago,
stayed in Bloomsbury area near Russell Square. We found ourselves always
heading away from there to eat and drink in the evenings, tho. I search of
great pubs, old Beatle haunts, amongst other things. I'm guessing that
staying in a hotel off the Tube Circle line would be the best bet?? Or, any
other terminal that would be head-and-shoulders above the rest???

Any specific hotel names would also be much appreciated.....

I suggest that you go for one of the several hotels on Norfolk Square.
They're all perfectly decent and are within easy walking distance of
Paddington (Great Western, Heathrow Express, Bakerloo, Circle,
District) and Lancaster Gate (Central Line) stations.

James.
