    I think we'd all like that, but it's probably not going to happen! Can you give a bit more idea of what days of the week / time of the year you're looking to go, for how long, and what sort of budget you consider as affordable ?
    As another recent thread on this board has suggested, there is currently lots of post-pandemic pent-up demand being reflected in both availability and prices for London hotels, so you'll probably have to be prepared to work on the 'Meatloaf' principal (two out of three ain't bad)

    You are probably best off checking out sites such as trip advisor or the hotel booking sites for numerous up to date reviews rather than a randon forumite who might have stayed centrally pre pandemic. And central is relative as to which area you prefer to stay/

    Define 'reasonably central'. Central to what: West End, City? Anywhere inside the Circle line could also be within that definition.

    No free lunch, and no free laptop ;)

    Most people look hotel from the accommodation search engine a few to name
    You could sort the result based on the "distance from city centre" and you could also see it from the map.

    When I'm looking for hotel accommodation I use search engines such as those above and then look at reviews, actual location etc to get a final shortlist.
