Re: Need help with London
Cant help you on affordable but used to go there for business often .. Stayed at the Marriott Grosvenor Square, Marble Arch and Regents Park. Most affordable was Regents Park because it was a longer tube ride to Central London. If memory serves mi correct, the Regent Park Marriott was 2 blocks off the Jubilee lineIf you don't fight for what you deserve, you deserve what you get.

Haven't been in London in a few years, but the last time I was there I stayed at NH Harrington Hall. It was down the street from Kensington Palace. It was affordable and quaint IMO. Dont know if it stayed that way.Comment

The Chesterfield Mayfair ... walking distance from Hyde Park, Buckingham Palace, Picadilly and not far from the Ritz where you can get tour bus pickup (if you're into that). It is a little on the pricier side but the excellent service and great room make up for the cost.Comment

And you can go into the Ritz for a cocktail (or 2) like I did, now where in the world would you get a Blackberry Caiparinha?!
Hmm, hotels in London, I stayed in a nice one near Hyde Park (and great to walk through) but I can't remember the name
There's a bunch of them around the British Museum - not to be missed!! stuff from all over the world in there (everything they ahum eh stole) - but amazing, Egypt, early Buddhist texts, all sorts of fascinating stuff
Why don't you have a look at Booking dot com, a friend of mine works there, just to get an idea and then you can google one that takes your fancy, I did that and got a better rate cos the hotel often has specialsComment

By the way, those tour buses look cheesy but they're great for seeing a lot in a short time and for orienting yourself, in fact I even became friends with the woman working on one in Havana!

Re: Need help with London
look at two star hotels round Paddington or victoria or earls court.. these are particularly .... also u get what u pay for....
or try lastminute.com
or look at Travellodges
Eurotraveller Hotel- Express (Elephant & Castle) and Days Hotel Waterloo
I use to drive past these one on occasion never stayed there.....but they are close to the center...
one thing in London get an Oyster Card for travel on Tube or busses, Black Taxis are cool... always hail a taxi going the opposite way to watch them make the u turn....I still get a thrill,,,Comment
