London : Accommodation

Accommodation in London is notoriously expensive however advance online booking can ensure significant savings. The price of hotels largely depends on which district you stay in, with many visitors preferring to stay just outside central London to take advantage of better hotel rates. Whether you choose to stay in the heart of the city or on its outskirts, the London transport network is easy and inexpensive to use, making getting around easy.

Popular central districts to stay in include Westminster, Covent Garden, Kensington, Mayfair and Charing Cross, but these convenient districts are also some of the most expensive for accommodation. However, the price tag affords you the luxury of being on the doorstep to the city’s most popular attractions. Mostly, hotels in the centre are of a high star rating, but it is possible to find cheaper choices too.

Those on a budget should consider booking accommodation in one of the less central districts or opting for a bed and breakfast. Popular bed and breakfasts can be found within close proximity of the centre at the likes of Earls Court and Notting Hill, both trendy areas with lots going on. Booking ahead is essential, with online booking being one of the easiest ways to guarantee a room.
