Need some advice on London hotels...

trying to find a decent hotel near the Tate Modern...contemplating a fairly quick trip to catch a show there...I've been bemoaning the fact that I couldn't get to it on my 2013 trip...I overstayed in the National Gallery...

The entire Sainsbury Wing plus!

I went to the British Museum and the City of London Museum. They were wonderful. But that is why I ran out of time and couldn't squeeze in the Tate(s).

There are also the Courthold and the Wallace Collection...so many museums in London!
