England's capital and one of the most iconic cities in the world, London is the perfect spot for a city break for those looking for great restaurants and bars, a seemingly endless list of tourist attractions, and a whole range of things to do. For the ideal staycation, base yourself somewhere in the hub of Central London near a tube stop for exploring, whilst avoiding the hustle and bustle of the more traditional tourist locations of the "West End". Shoreditch, Clerkenwell, Portobello or Maida Vale are all close enough to the action but far away enough from the headache.
