Areas to stay in London
We have not been to London in many years so unfamiliar with city. We want to stay in a place centrally located....possibly Knightsbridge? Any other suggestions?

There's no such thing as "centrally located" in London. A lot depends on where you want to go.
But good general areas are Earls Court, South Kensington, Victoria or Bloomsbury as all of them have excellent transport links.

South Kensington is my favorite. It is right next to Knightsbridge and within walking distance of V&A, Natural History museum and Harrod and also King;s Rd.Also many transportation options.
I find Earl's Court tacky.

Has anyone used vacationplus.net or londoncraigslist.co.uk to rent a flat when staying in London. Their prices are considerably lower. We found a place on #15 De Vere Gardens,
> Kensington - just wondering what we might be getting ourselves into.

I'd never EVER use craigslist (<B>EVER</B and haven't heard of vacationplus (which doesn't mean much one way or the other).
If you want to go that way -- vrbo or homelidays at least have some sort of insurance that the properties actually exist.

Oh - just noticed dobsonde isn't the OP.
Dobsonde: Your question is completely different than wordsmith's. It would be better to start your own thread instead of us highjacking wordsmith's.
Wordsmith: Knightsbridge is 'central' - but so are many other neighborhoods. Mostly depends on the sort of vibe you want, and your budget. Knightsbridge tends to have high to very high end accommodations.
