...Although fun to hang out there, Central London can get very busy and noisy. Often overlooked is some of the parts of London south of the river.

Advantages: On bank of Thames, next to Tower Bridge, Tower of London & St Katherine's Dock
Disadvantages: Quite a way from Central London, drinks & restaurant expensive
