I’m going to the baseball at the Olympic stadium in the summer but haven’t booked accommodation yet, does anyone have any recommendations of what areas would be easiest to commute from? It doesn’t need to be the ritz I’m staying in, just as long as the stadium is accessible and I can get into Oxford Circus easily enough to take the wife shopping at some point

Anywhere along the Central Line will suit you. Holborn, Covent Garden, Russel Square.
Depends on your budget.

Central lines a disaster at the moment, book anywhere that’s near any tube line in zone 1,2 or 3 and you’ll be fine. Look at airbnbs as hotels are ver expensive at the moment..

We're just back. First time in London. Stayed at the park plaza Waterloo. Reasonable price. 50 yards from Lambeth North Station on the bakerloo line and transported around the city no bother from there

If you don't mind cosy, the hub by Premier Inns at either St James Park or Westminster are usually fairly inexpensive and well located. About a 5 minute walk to Westminster tube station, or 5 minutes down to Victoria. Easy to get anywhere in the city from either spot.
Madness, as you know, is a lot like gravity. All it takes is a little push.

I wouldn’t concern yourself much with where you’re staying as long as it’s in central London, the underground makes getting around a breeze and chances are you’ll be on it loads regardless of where you’re staying. If you’re out with Central London then you maybe want to give location a bit more consideration.
I usually stay in the Hub by Premier Inn in Soho or the Yotel in Shoreditch or the Yotel on Clerkenwell Road. Nothing fancy but absolutely fine if it’s just somewhere to sleep at night.

Going further out is made easier and cheaper by the QE II line that goes past London Stadium. Anywhere east of Stratford is easy to access on that line. Worth considering if you want better value for money

If you want claustrophobic, try Paris hotels

I've stayed in the Dorsett at Shepherd's Bush a few times, usually when travelling with my wife. Plenty transport options and by London standards the rooms are pretty spacious. Good location for plenty of food and drink options too.
When I'm on my own I usually just stay in the Royal Scot Travelodge at King's Cross. A wee bit dated and it's no frills but it does what is says on the tin and at £50-70 a night you aren't getting much more budget friendly in London.
If you are quite comfortable using the tube then I think almost anywhere in zones 1 and 2 is pretty accessiblePM Awards General Poster of The Year 2015, 2016, 2017. Probably robbed in other years
