Everyplace in central London would be accessible to all the tourist attractions - either by bus, tube, or on foot.

Yes, we definitely need your budget. Plus which airport are you arriving/departing. Some areas are better located for one airport over another.

I would figure out your hotel budget and what you want to spend per night and bid on a 4 star hotel in Westminster or Mayfair area using Priceline. Check out www.biddingfortravel.com to see what rooms are going for before placing your bid.

"<i>Price range 90 - 120 pounds sterling</i>" Is that single, double or family room? If it is for a single, you'd have your choice of a huge number of places.

Most every central London location is walkable to at least a site or two and to everyplace else by tube/bus. But Gatwick is most easily accessible to areas around Victoria Station, London Bridge/Southwark, or Kings Cross/Bloomsbury.

If you mean double, someplace like the Grosvenor (not the Grosvenor House Marriott) would be good. It is attached to Victoria Station and doubles run about £100 or just a bit less. Could not be more convenient for Victoria/Gatwick.

Londontown.com is a terrific site for finding rooms.
