The Thistle hotel at Kings Cross would be OK in price and location for you both as I stayed there after flying into LCY and departed from LHR. I took a taxi from LCY and the tube is right next door to the hotel and it went direct to LHR

Those two airports are a long way from the city, and each other. Although I have been to the approximate midpoint of the two(for great Indian food), getting there from central London is a long trip. So, I would also advise to stay in the Bloomsbury/Kings Cross area, also. I prefer Bloomsbury as I can spend days enjoying walking around and do not have to use public transportation.
Consider using a car(hired) for the trips to/from LHR. The cost is around 35-45.
Hotels in London are quite high for what you get. For cheap, also look at http://216.65.16.70/cgi-bin/bookings/promolist.cgi It is the St. Giles hotel over The tottenheim court tube.
I have no idea how to get to/from LCY, but if you search this site, I know the question has been addressed.
Also look in London in the travel forum.

Getting from LCY to London - the easiest 'cheap' way to do this is to take the shuttle bus from outside the airport. This stops at Canary Wharf (Jubilee Tube Line) and Liverpool Street Station (Central/Circle tube lines).
