Answer 2

Unfortunately more detail is needed to accurately answer your question.  What type of a hotel are you looking for?  What kind of room?  And in what part of the city?  Fancy central London hotels will have rooms for many hundreds of pounds, whereas more casual hotels - like my favorite the Imperial Hotel http://www.imperialhotels.co.uk/default.... has rates starting at 70 pounds year round.  B&Bs all over the city usually start at around 30 pounds in the summer for a single room depending on the quality and location of the B&B.  If your goal is to save money I would recommend booking a B&B.  I think that Bed and Breakfasts are the best way to go in London when it comes to central and inexpensive lodging. Plus you get free breakfast. London B&B's aren't as charming and homey as the ones in the country, they're much less expensive than large hotels and offer private ensuite rooms that are quite clean.

I've stayed in the Vegas hotel http://www.vegashotel.co.uk/ near Victoria Station. This room was bizarre since you entered through the loo to get to the bed, however, at least it was ensuite, cheap, clean, included breakfast and had a television. That area around and behind Victoria has dozens of similar B&Bs, and the same is true of areas surrounding most of the city's main central train stations, King's cross area has loads, it's not quite as close to the city center but it is close to excellent transportation. Staying near Victoria is a good idea because of all the great transportation connections and it's a safe area. www.4hotels.co.uk is a good place to start B&B shopping. It also lets you browse by region of London. The bigger sites like www.hotels.com, www.expedia.com, etc. usually have some B&B listings for London as well.

I'd also recommend the Hotel St. Simeon B&B in Kensington http://www.stsimeon.com/. This B&B had spacious rooms, gorgeous lobby, great breakfasts and was in a really nice area of the city, right off Gloucester Road tube station.

Rates for these types of B&Bs usually start at around 40 pounds ($80) for a double room. And since they include large breakfasts they help stretch your food budget as well!
