I'd go with London, personally. I've stayed both in London and all over Italy and loved both. If you've got questions about anything I'd be happy to answer.

I will say that I felt London was much easier to navigate, the tube is idiot proof, everyone speaks english. If you enjoy museums and galleries and seeing shows, London has so much to see and do. I was there for more than a week and I still felt like I only saw a small part of London. You can easily book day trip buses that go to Stonehenge, Bath, Stratford upon Avon, etc. I felt safe walking around the city by myself even at night, whereas in Italy I was followed a few times even with friends by weird guys.

Italy - I'm glad I went with a tour group. There was a lot I didn't know and some areas are more difficult to get transport to. My Italian is not great. I would recommend being better at basic conversation than I was if you're going without an Italian speaking person. I got stuck a few times trying to explain what I wanted to eat or asking how to get somewhere, and I had two Italian speakers with me 90% of the time.

Thanks! London seems to be the way to go. Any recommendations on what areas to get a hotel in (price + convenience)?

I stayed in Russell Square (Bloomsbury) right around the corner from the British Museum. The Imperial I think the place was called. It's a bit out of date (or was when I was there) but it was a good, cheap option and the location wasn't too out of the way. You might be able to find something that suits you more depending on how fancy you like to travel and where you think you'll spend the most time.

For travel, get an Oyster card. You can preload them and just swipe on and off. There are tube stops everywhere. It's pretty great. http://www.visitlondon.com/traveller-information/getting-around-london/oyster#fUDVowSfVTj7SxIP.97

Stay central. Most of the tourist attractions are relatively close to one another, and you'll save time if you are, too. Not to mention that when I traveled there, you could get travel cards that were good for a week, unlimited travel within that one small zone. Traveling outside that zone was more expensive.

There are tons of B&B options, but do check for online reviews. Bedrooms with a private attached bath (i.e. en suite bath) are more expensive, but it may be worth it to you. Rooms with shared bathrooms (this is totally a thing in the UK) are cheaper, but then, less private. If a full English breakfast sounds like something you'll enjoy, it can be a great start to the day and help save money on your food budget, because eating out in England is very pricey.

Thanks. Depending on who goes, we might get an air bnb.
