Living in London you experience so much of the city that it makes it easier to recommend where to stay in London. I travel quite a bit and usually when I book a place to stay what tends to come to mind is how close is the hotel to the top things to do in the city I am visiting. With that in mind, I consider how much is the price of the accommodation versus how much I would have to pay in transportation and time get to those places while saving a few bucks/pounds on accommodation located out of the center. Living in an expensive city like London, as a local, I thought I would share with you my tips on where to stay in London by way my top 10 London hostels I would recommend in the city based on their proximity to London's top tourist attractions as well as the cost and rating factor. I also thought this would be a great follow up to my post on
