Of course you'll also be close to the Tower of London, Tower Bridge, HMS Belfast, and the Monument, if you stay there.

If you haven't been before, and you want a bit of guidance, feel free to e-mail me and I'll happily give you a brief guideline itinerary so you see as much as possible of the sights in a short time!

As for London, I just sent a friend and his two daughters to the Premier in the old County Hall building. They loved it. It's next to the London Eye, across from Parliament and close to tube stations and taxis. He's the second person I've sent there. The other was a solo female academic and she took found it good value and convenient.
