Hotels and Bed and Breakfast in London
England has a variety of accommodations across the country and London has innumerable hotel options. Even so, major events like the Olympics or the Queen's Diamond Jubilee result in crowded conditions with many hotels overbooked.
Hotel prices can be astronomical in London, but there are a wide range of options and affordable accommodations can be found. To find the best deals, book well in advance. Mid-range hotels can be rented for about £110 a night, with many options above and below that price range.
Finding Lodging
The Official London Tourist board (tel: +44 (0) 800-London) is an excellent option to find approved lodging. There are also hotel booking booths at all the major airports and train stations.
University Halls can offer a low cost option during vacation time (summer, Easter or Christmas). Though not hotel standard, they are usually an excellent value with good locations.
- University College London (0707 387 7050)
- King's College London (0207 836 5454)
- The London School of Economics (0207 405 7686)
B&B
A Bed & Breakfast can be an a refreshingly personal environment to explore a new city. Though a B&B may be more expensive then traditional hotels, occasionally they are cheaper then the surrounding locations given the inclusion of a meal and the luxury of the environment.
Bed & Breakfast accommodations are widely available, even in remote areas. Average price may be as little as 25 GBP per person, per night.
Local tourist information centers are the best resource for finding B&B's while traveling. There are also very helpful search engines:

hostellondon is missing the best
I have used alike sites for other cities but found that this didn't have the hostel I was looking for. I was told about the Generator (www.generatorhostels.com)and it is the best place to stay in London. However, it is not on this or hostelworld at all. I know that it was a few years ago. I was told that what has happened is that www.hostelbookers.com is owned by the people that own the generator and that hostelworld spat it!! N e way if your looking for a place to stay in London go to the Gen and if your looking for a place to stay all over; atleast you can cheek out the market at www.hostelbookers.com as well as hostelworld...go the free world!
