Central districts in London?
I'm about to book accommodation for London but don't want to travel 2 hours to the city center.
Can you tell me which part is the city center and bars/clubs?
Such a question could have been found after some googling but when I type google Central Station London, I assume city center should be where the central station is but it directs me to a gay bar.
Do you have advice on what to search for to get useful results?

London's city centre could be considered to be the City, aka The Square Mile.
Which is it's own municipal zone with it's own police force.
It comprises much of historical London and most of the big tourist attractions are in it, or very close to it.
However it's a terrible place for night life. Very few people actually live there. And the entire area generally empties out completely on the weekends.
Better night life can be found in the areas surrounding it.
Each with their own particular flavour.
If you want 'hipper' bars/clubs you probably want to look to stay in East London. Particularly around Shoreditch.
If you want something a bit more restaurant based and middle class, try North London.
Perhaps Angel and wander along Upper St. Or if you like punk or rock & roll you could spend your time in Camden which has possibly the densest area of night life. Not necessarily the best. But there are lots of pubs and people there every night.
The West End is the theatre district and generally very touristy. But you can go further West and try Notting Hill or Portobello Road for properly posh, gentrified London.
All of these areas are 20 minute tube rides from the geographical centre of London but have much better night life.
Be aware though, that there are VERY few actual clubs in London for a city of its size.
Most socialising is done in pubs which do close around midnight.
However since most people start very early (think 6pm) we're mostly done by then.
