You're well enough connected from either Southwark or Kings Cross (the former much closer to Shakespeare's Globe, St Paul's Cathedral, etc., the latter much closer to the British Library, etc.). Limehouse I don't know, but it is further out.
if you had to choose between Southwark and Kings Cross (or Bloomsbury, Where I found a better deal on points), which would be better? Is Southwark safe? Which neighborhood would have better dining options? One of my colleagues that is British, used to live in London and said that Kings cross used to be a really dodgy area but it has been cleaned up.
