I need accommodation recs in London

[Marle]

We are staying a Wednesday through Saturday and flying out of Gatwick on a Sunday morning. It'll be DH, DS, MIL and myself and we want something that is walking distance to a tube station and with a clear path to the airport. Obviously something affordable and not terribly uncomfortable.

Any recommendations?

TIA

Wait, are you flying into Gatwick or out of Gatwick? Are you in London? Gatwick is my old stomping grounds, I'll give you recommendations for that area if you need them

You will want to be on the Thameslink Train system which also is near a tube...that would be the following tube locations: London Bridge, St Pancras, Kentish Town, Farringdon, St Pauls (City Thameslink station is nearby), Blackfriars.

This is the one that came up for me on Tripadvisor: www.tripadvisor.co.uk/Hotel_Review-g186338-d2539103-Reviews-Apex_Temple_Court_Hotel-London_England.html
(I don't know hotels in the area since I live in London). This one would be near City Thameslink and Blackfriars/St Pauls so quite central.

We stayed at this Days Inn. It's nothing fancy but the location is awesome and it's clean and has free breakfast

ETA: it is right next to a tube stop and Paddington Station which has direct trains to and from the airports, which is awesome.

I stayed in a flat near the Queensbridge Tube stop (a few blocks from the Royal Park London wannabe !! I think the neighbourhood I stayed in is called Bayswater) and I found it was the perfect location. Residential enough that you won't find too much bustle, but close to a tube and the park (my mom and I went out for runs in Kensington Gardens) and very neighbourhoodsy like. Notting Hill was a few blocks away too.
