First time visitor- best location?
Hi Reddit,
My husband and I, early 30s, are visiting London for the first time. We are considering staying in either Nottinghill, Kensington or Covenant Garden. Everyone is telling us to stay in Covenant Garden for the location but as someone from NYC, I don’t really want to stay near the “Times Square” tourist zone. I am an early riser and typically go explore/get coffee before my husband even wakes up so I would like to be walkable to a few things without feeling like I am back in NYC.
I have been using a few sites to see how the tube lines work but I have heard the circle line could be unreliable.
While I think we would enjoy Kensington or Nottinghill more and are comfortable with taking the tube, is it troublesome to get to the major tourist sites from here?
