London, forget about a budget. Expect to pay. But

The highlights of this trip included my accommodations. I really felt like a traditional traveler with my Bed and Breakfast located near downtown. I even found that bed and breakfast from the IGOUGO website, marking the first time I've used this site to help plan my travel.

Quick Tips:

Suggestions. Well, I would say that you just have to plan on spending a lot of money. The prices look like American prices but after the exchange rate you can basicly add on .70 to each pound to get the real value.

Best Way To Get Around:

I would suggest buying the 16 pound bus/tube pass for zones one and two. That will get you around and you won't have to worry about carrying change for the bus. If you are planning to walk a lot then don't waste your money because everything is within walking distance.

Taking the time to walk also adds to the experience. I found in the four days I was there that the four-day pass I bought did not pay for itself. I could have walked mostly. Of course I also stayed in western London most of the time. So use your judgement if you are going to take the bus and if you need the pass. They also offer one, four, and seven days passes.

Well, you can see from the photos below that the accommodations were very London Like.

Honestly they were fine. The room was cleaned daily and the bathroom was spotless. Although the bath was not attached it was never busy. I didn't wait once. The room did have a sink so I was able to brush and shave in my room without leaving.

The bed was small but comfortable. I guess European standards are a bit smaller than the U.S. No worries there.

The staff was nice helpful and pleasant. The breakfast was cooked to order and you usually got enough in the first helping to tide you over or cure your hangover.

The Internet access was a lifesaver. After spending the previous eight days in the Middle East I didn't have much opportunity to catch up on e-mail.

Oh yeah, it’s hard to find! But the best way is:
If you come out of the Tube turn left. Head towards the KFC. When you reach the KFC turn Left again. Once you reach the end of that street you will see the Hotel to your left across the street.

Oh yeah, do a search for their website, it has their current rates posted and an e-mail address that you can e-mail to get availability.
