We will be there for a few days in the late spring. Myself, the Wife and 3 (young) teenagers. I’m thinking In or close to Covent Garden since it is basically our first time there. My wife and I were there 20 years ago but barely remember it. Spent our time visiting friends and not being tourists.
Could also use recommendations on hotels, things to do and restaurants. Appreciate any help.

There are plenty of Things to Do links. Attached is an example.
A couple of mine:
Take a morning boat from Westminster to Greenwich. Fabulous way to see London from the Thames. In Greenwich, see the Royal Observatory. The kids will learn how time was standardized.
Churchill War Room. No need for reservations. Just arrive 20 minutes before it opens.
Regents Park. A classic quintessential London park— very scenic — good spot for family Christmas Card photo
Harrods— kids will love seeing a store like that, especially the foods department.
For London’s finest ol’ school shopping street, walk down Jermyn Street.
Hamstead Heath
Little Venice in Maida Vale
Wimbledon
Kensington Palace (in Hyde Park) has some good tours that are less known to the public.
Chelsea Gardens

I'm usually around Westminster/Trafalgar Square area, which is between Covent Garden and the others suggested (Marble Arch/Kensington/Knightsbridge/Chelsea), and close to SOHO/West End/Theater District. Also walking distance to Westminster Abbey, Parliament/Big Ben, No. 10 Downing, the National Gallery, etc., etc., etc.
ND has its campus building near Trafalgar Square, by the way.
Feel free to MAIL me.
Lots of hotels, pubs, restaurants, parks, museums, shopping, yada yada yada.
Lots of hotels, right on the Red Line. Also easy walk to the neighborhoods you want to walk to.
