This worked as a short-term stay for us near an underground station that made getting to nearby attractions very easy. There's also a Tesco walking-distance for grocery shopping, as well as some restaurants to pick from about a 10-15 minutes' walk away. The kitchen is pretty small, just a microwave, sink, and 2 burners with limited counter space. But it's totally workable, especially for a short stay (but be very careful with the smoke detector, it's very sensitive!)
