Great spot, clean, comfortable, complete, in a nice safe neighborhood with a great view of nearby Tower bridge. Grocery store right across the street, and good restaurants about 2 minute walk away. About a 10 minute walk from Tower Hill Underground. Get an Oyster card (for rapid transit) right way, max it out (6.60 per day for zones one and two which should be plenty) for the number of days you'll be there, take the time to learn the train system (easy, but do it right away so you can max out your visit), and you'll love your time there. We saw almost all the major Rick Steve's recommended stuff in 3 days and did some great shopping too, without getting worn out. This was the last leg of our honeymoon re-do (for our 30th) and loved this place----for us, about perfect. Take a 15 minute walk to The Prospect of Whitby, London's oldest continuous Thames River pub (they served pirates in the 1500's) and have a nice dinner with a few pints while watching the river activity. We loved that place 30 years ago and with all the memories, even more now. You will too. Also the old Spitalfields Market was unique shopping with a lot of custom artisans at great prices, as well as Portobello Road shopping district for tons of unique shops, particularly antiques and whatnot...really incredible there for that.
