Hi

It would definately be worth considering staying in the suburbs of London
rather than in the centre of London, there is a big big difference between
the prices. For example at Barking there is a Formula One Hotel where a room
(which I think accommodates up to three people) only costs £29 per night for
the room (not per person). It is only a short journey from here to Central
London. Travel Inn's on the outskirts of London cost about £45 per night
for a room (up to two adults and two children) Travel Inn's can be easily
booked on-line via their website - www.travelinn.co.uk and you should also
be able to find details of the Formula One Hotel online as well. These all
have clean spacious rooms although you have to pay extra for breakfast if
required.

Hope this might help.

Elaine
