Meantime, I've revised my shortlist of potential London hotels for the time being as follows :
1) The Aldwych
2) The Mayfair London
3) The Athenaeum
4) Knightsbridge hotel
5) The Halkin
and KIV others.

not so fast !!
aldwych is a no no IMO and you may be disappointed - IMO a goood hotel but not luxury ....
athenaeum faces green park ...yes but actually seperated by a very busy .... and ugly ....piccadilly road but i guess you would not need to wait for buses as there are a few bus stops along it..
Halkin and knightbridge ......ild sooner die of boredom ....
i ld like to suggest
1 /
DUKES [ same management as aldwych ] for the mayfair /soho part of town .....
and
2/
LOWNDES [ jumeriah] knightbridge/belgravia/ chelsea part of town
and do have a look at
sohohouse portfolio......to see if their new properties are opened. by the time you get there........dean st for the heart of SOHO [ YUCK ! - very scary place in the late 70s /early 80s...!
]
and .....
metropolitan and connaught could be options too
the list you had ...could do with some ....adjustments
