On the other hand, those who want to spend a little less or prefer a more free life without having to comply with certain rules of a hotel, can opt for tourist flats and apartments. This alternative is the one chosen to travel to London as a family or with small children, groups of friends or those who travel with other couples.

And in third term to sleep in London we can choose the cheap hostels, some known as "Bed and Breakfast" (bed and breakfast). Hostels are still expensive compared to other cities (about $ 15 per person), but they are still more affordable than hotels. An excellent option for young adventurers.

 

Recommended areas

Each of the neighborhoods or areas of London have their charms or particular characteristics, but today we are going to detail what is the best area to stay in London according to the interests of each one and the meaning you give to your trip.

In the case of choosing West End, that is to say "the center", to sleep, you also have to be willing to pay a lot more. But the good thing is that everything is within reach, as they say.

The hotels located in the Notting Hill, or Bayswater and Paddington areas are moderately priced. The region has many attractions to enjoy with the family and the tranquility of London. In the vicinity: Little Venice, Portobello Market, Kensington Palace and Hyde Park.

Also nearby are Buckingham Palace, St. James´s Park and Harrods stores. Victoria Station takes you to Gatwick Airport in no time. All these benefits are often somewhat expensive, but there are also more affordable options.

In the neighborhoods of King´s Cross and Bloomsbury, very close to the British Museum, with quiet streets and lots of history, we can look for old hotels with different prices, as well as bookstores and antique shops. All English style, more than picturesque.

Finally, a place chosen for business trips is La City, the hotels are skyscraper-type, with all services. But we can find other accommodation options in London in the surrounding areas, such as Clerkenwell and Shoreditch, perfect for exploring London, visiting Brick Lane Market or Saint Paul's Cathedral.

This is something you can offer when you arrive in London but no one can guarantee anything.
