London Tower Gateway

Yes a safe area.
Very handy for Tower of London, Tower Bridge. The area to the north and west (city of london area) can feel a little deserted at weekends because this is the financial hub. That said, sometimes a lack of people is enjoyable in London!
Borough market in easy reach for fancy food shopping / grazing, lunchtime 'street food' and places to eat of an evening.

The location (IMO) only a problem if what you want to see includes mostly stuff in the west and central areas of London (and spread across a wide area). London is absolutely at its best when walking between sites, but the tube is good for moving quickly over longer distances. Buses / boats also worht looking into to decide if this location works logistically for you.
 
Then this is about the best compromise unless you want to stay further west and have to change en route to Excel.
 
We stayed at the Leonardo Royal London Tower Bridge hotel, just a block from the DLR and 2 blocks from the Underground station. 20 min DLR ride out to the Excel. Close to the St Katherine's marina area and several pubs, ethnic restaurants and a few grocery stores.

Good location to be in the city and getting to the Excel, where we were attending a conference.
