Other Accommodation

London is one of the more expensive cities in the world to stay. Last-minute bookings can therefore mean a great deal of expense, although there are a number of websites and other services offering discounted rates.

A good first stop is the London Tourist Board, which has a guide to good hotels and also offers discounted accommodation. Please click here for their accommodation page.

There are a number of other sites that also offer discounts. www.londontown.com is particularly good for those booking at the last minute.
