Some day, when I am rich, I would like to visit London! Maybe there is some single London guy in his 40's who would like to put me up in his flat!?

The Thistle Hotel and Best Western Hotel in the Kensington area is perfect. Check online for other budget conscious hotels in the Kensington, Hyde Park area. Perfectly close to the beautiful parks, museums, High St. shopping and bus/subway lines.
London is awesome. I've loved my time here.
Here's what I always pass along re: what to see in London!
Wear good walking shoes because London is a superb walking city. Bring a good map of the city and begin. Be a happy tourist and first hop on one of the major red double decker tour buses which afford you a perfect overview of London and you can "hop on and off" as often as you please...some for two days! I love www.theoriginaltour.com ! Highlights (see www.londonwalks.com): National Gallery, Trafalgar Square, Tate Modern Museum, London Eye, Covent Gardens (great shops n restaurants), St. Paul's Cathedral, Westminster Abbey, Buckingham Palace, see a play!, Harrods, Harvey Nichols, Tower of London.
Know London has many beautiful parks which can be your oasis when needing a rest. Kensington Gardens in one of the world's wealthiest areas - See Princess Di's Kensington Palace and shop Kensington High St. and wander up Church St. for boutiques and such. Nearby: Royal Albert Hall, Science Museum, Natural History Museum and Victoria & Albert Museum. Hyde Park connects to Kensington Gardens. Explore Chelsea for boutiques as well. St. James Park - beautiful, sole restaurant inside. Green Park - high tea at the Ritz, Fortnum & Mason, Picadilly Circus (think Times Square). Shopping streets: Oxford, Bond, check for weekly markets...BUY "TIMEOUT LONDON" weekly magazine. Boat trip on the Thames - a must. Don't forget - you can take the EUROSTAR Chunnel train to Brussels or Paris for day trips (2.5 hrs +/- each way!) Hope this helps. Have a fantastic time! :)

Dont trust anyone from the East End.
Look for a nice place in the West End, or North London.
Stay within Zones 1-2 (check out the tube map at tfl for more details)
The city center is to expensive. You can get nice cozy guesthouses in Nottinghill, Holland Park, Belsize Park. St John's Wood, and Highgate.
If you really want to go all the way Mayfair and Park Road are the really posh areas.
Enjoy you're visit. London's a cool place.

Next to Hyde Park & Kensington Palace Gardens and only a short walk to Oxford Street & Mayfair, the Best Western Mornington Hotel, London, is a high quality 3 star hotel with a very warm welcome.
