Soho

Pros
- I live in London. Soho is more central to the main areas of interest and has better bars and restaurants imo.
- Soho is very shopping heavy (still plenty of bars though) and you can walk there easily from CG.
- Soho is better for restaurants in my opinion but will likely be noisier at night (although can’t imagine either would be quiet). I also think there are more interesting little streets in Soho to wander down and find various points of int...
Cons
- Soho is more central to the main areas of interest and has better bars and restaurants imo. But it's very busy during the day with shoppers/tourists and can become very loud at night with people going out.
- Soho will be much more, uh, lively (for good or bad). For me, I’d rather sleep in a quieter place and go to the lively places should I choose to.
- Both of these areas are potentially very noisy if you get the wrong room/wrong side of the street.
- Soho, Leicester Square and Covent Garden are busy, noisy, touristy areas.
- Soho might be more noisy at night, so I would choose the hotel at covent garden

Avoid busy shopping streets like Oxford St. and Soho in late afternoon/evening (or don't, but just be ready for a not very accommodating crowd.)
