To all the UKers, need your help!
 

Hi,
Me and a friend are planning to come to London end of July/beginning of August.
Now we´re searching for a cheap but good hotel in London. The center would be best.
Does anybody know which hotel we could go to?
Thanx!
R.

PS: Can You tell me how to get tickets for Whistle down the wind? Heard that it´s played there..

Last time I stayed right in the centre of London I used this website ...

http://www.london-discount-hotel.com/budgethotels

Whistle runs until Aug 12th, London Theatre Direct seems to have the best deals on tickets that I can find (following a v quick google search)

London and cheap in one sentence contradicts itself. :wtf:

Not especially about the hotel, but booked the flight some minutes ago:
Altenburg (near Lipzig) to Stansted
both flights together for 15€!:D
God bless Ryanair!

Edit: booked the WDTW-tickets special price: best seat for 20punds/30€!

An oxymoron one might say.

Try this! if you're going end of July it means everyone will have left the hotels after Wimbledon so there should be rooms available!:mrgreen:

Can you give me something like a possible good price for a double room, 3 nights?
We´re still searching and found very different offers.

A good rate in central London would be about £70 a room. Not many of them around though.

This ones pretty good value. A load of us stayed there last summer during the HOTD tour.

They were renevating then and we had a few nightmares with no air con when it was hotter than hell inside and out. But i'm sure that must be over now. Its a nice hotel and decors good and its clean.

waiting for some sarcy comments :-P

Heres another one. A lot of the wwry fans use this. It;s pretty close to where Whistle down the wind is on as well.

Um.... Stanstead airport's quite a way out of London..... just thought I'd mention it.

Yes I know, we´ll have to go by train to the center.
A ticket to stansted is 25€(Ryanair), a ticket to Heathrow is nearly 100€(Lufthansa), so I think it´ll still be cheaper.

Not if you take a taxi!

BTW trains are quite expensive going into London also. When I take a train from where I live to the center of London (which is about 40-50 miles or so) I pay £55 return during peak times !!! :shock:

The Stanstead express goes from Stanstead to london so should be ok. Don't think it's as expensive as normal train fares.

Deb

The stansted express will cost you around £25 return and this will take you into liverpool street, from here you can get the london underground, the bus or a taxi to get you anywhere in our great city.

Had a problem to purchase the WDTW tickets. Is here anybody who did this before?
They ask for a username/password, so I have to register on there site, but I dont know where and how, cant find anything:confused:

OK, here the latest news:
Found a fitting hotel, it´s in Hammersmith, called "Hotel 65" it seems to be cheap and clean, that´s enough for us.

Can anybody explain the difference between english breakfast and continental breakfast?
R.

Continental Breakfast - Cereals, Fruit Juice, Coffee/Tea, Croissants, Bread, Cheese etc

English Breakfast - Bacon, Eggs, Sausage, Tomatoes, Baked Beans, Hash Browns, Fried Bread, Heart Disease, Black Pudding, Mushrooms, Lard, Toast, Cholesterol, Coffee/Tea, Fruit Juice, Cereals ...

Go for the English breakfast.... you won't need to eat anything for hours (possibly days) afterwards! Continental breakfast and you're hungry again in 30 minutes. Well, I am anyway!

You need to bring MUCH time with you for this hotel to discuss everything at the reception desk!! :lmao:
But a good hotel though..... :-P .... I have great memories!

Hi there,
you should have in your mind to be a little bit carefully about Ryanair!
A group of my German friends did miss a Meaty show in London 2004 because Ryanair canceled the flight very short-dated!!

I still can't believe we got that free one in Luton!! I couldn't finish it! :lmao:

In all hotels that I´ve tried up to now were no more rooms available, but now I´ve found one.
177punds for 3 nights.
Very central.
Just have to ask the other part of this travel-team and then I will book it!

Nice. :|

:lmao: Great, but hot memories Eva ;)
