Top 10 Cheap London Hotels

By Laura Porter. London Travel Expert

Laura Porter has lived in the London area all her life and can't imagine ever wanting to live elsewhere. London is her 'specialist subject' and she has written the About.com London Travel site since it started in 2006.

This site was included in the "Top 50 Travel Websites " in The Independent where Laura was described as a "mastermind" as "she has a knack for seeking out the unusual as well as providing plenty of practical tips".

The About.com London Travel site will help you plan a trip or enjoy armchair travel. It includes luxury and budget, the top attractions and the little known quirks that made the city so special.

London hotel prices stop many travelers from coming to this great city so I ve put together this list of London hotels that offer exceptional value for money. Back in 2007, the average London hotel room rose to £119 per night but I want to be able to prove you can still stay in the world s most cosmopolitan city for less than that, so all of these hotels are under £100 a night and some are well below that rate.

If you don t have a specific hotel in mind, I find the best London hotel rates are usually with Travelocity (Buy Direct ) or Superbreak.com (Buy Direct ). I can also strongly recommend the Hotwire Secret Hot Rate as a way to get a real bargain.
