Editor’s Note: During my time living in London, I lived in the Shadwell/Wapping area; when my family came to visit, I recommended them to stay near Tower Bridge and they chose a hotel within walking distance of the Tower of London. It’s a great area for first-time visitors especially if you want to have super-easy access to the tube, buses, and river transit. – Valerie
