Gay hotels and gay-friendly accommodation in London can be found most conveniently in Soho and the surrounding West End. From here you can reach the bars of Old Compton Street, theaters, restaurants and the major attractions on foot or with a few tube stops. Because the location is central and correspondingly in demand, hotels in this area are priced high. If you want to live in the middle of the action and are looking for nightlife, you are hardly better off for it.
London is an open city where queer guests are naturally welcome in most hotels, even outside the well-known trendy districts. If you look at the price, you can find cheaper rooms in well-connected districts such as the South Bank, Vauxhall or the eastern districts and still get to the centre quickly thanks to the dense local transport. When choosing an area, it helps to think in advance about what is in the foreground: central location and nightlife or a quieter district with more hotel for the money. Plan early if your visit coincides with Pride in London, as the central houses fill up quickly around the first weekend in July. You can find the right location and the right house for your stay with the following selection.
