London Tune Hotels

Hi guys, which London Tune Hotel is the best in terms of location/convenience to touristy spots?

a) Westminster
b) Liverpool St
c) Paddington
d) Kings Cross

I was advised to book Liverpool St for transportation convenience as I would not have to keep changing trains to reach my destinations.

However, Kings Cross is now selling for £9 where else Liverpool St and the rest are at £50 to £60! If I choose Kings Cross, will I end up saving on accommodation but spending more on transportation?

Advisable to quit new job after only 1 month?

Is it advisable to quit a new job after only a month? Or should I stay on for 3 - 6 months and leave before I get confirmed (to enjoy the 24 hour notice and explain to future employers that at least I did try to fit in for a few months instead of leaving without giving the new company a shot). Or should I suck it up and stay for a year?

Reasons for leaving new employer :-
a) I feel that the job is hampering my career progression as I am handling a significantly smaller & less interesting portfolio of customers compared to my previous workplace, hence i feel less fulfilled/no job satisfaction.
b) System is significantly inferior compared to previous employer which makes even the simplest task extremely frustrating.

I was supposed to be moving on to something better but I feel like I have "downgraded" myself (jobscope wise) compared to my previous job. Only good thing is the higher pay.
