Suitcases on the Tube
I am in the process of planning a trip to Italy for me and my wife and I am considering flying from the States to London and staying over two nights before continuing on via Ryan Air to Pisa. We travel pretty light, one small carry on suitcase for each of us a smalll back back for travel incedentals. We fly into Gatwick and flyout of Stansted. Is this reasonable amount of luggage to cart around the trains and tubes of London as we go to our hotel from the airports.

The above question regarding where to stay is difficult to answer (or give only 1 answer).
There seems to be plenty of hotels around 1) Earls Court (many of them cheaper but they are farther away to central London - look at a map), 2) around Gloucester Road/Cromwell Road, 3) around Baywater Road, 4) around Victoria station and to some extent Kings Cross, 5) and a smaller bunch around Goodge St and the British Museum. Central London has some expensive hotels like the Lanesborough. One Aldwych, and the Dorchester.
I have stayed at #2 and #3.

Earl's Court is a bit far removed from most tourist sights in central London. The area does boast a large number of less expensive hotels, but you can find lodging for similar costs in more central areas.
Examples: Victoria Station has a number of lower cost hotels surrounding it. And a favorite "budget" hotel--the Travel Inn County Hall--is located literally next door to the London Eye. The British Museum has a number of lower -cost hotel neighbors too.
Hope this helps.
