Where would a teen (15) be able to stay in London for 1 month?

Question

I am so tired of my town, I would just really like to get away for one month now that its summer...I love traveling and my parents would probably come with me for a week or two, I just would really like to get away from it all and see more things.

Anyways, my question is besides a hostel or a foreign-exchange situation, where would I stay for 1 month? I dont think hotels give discounts the longer you stay...Ideas? I am up for basically anything

Thanks everyone

Answer 1

That's going to be expensive. Hotels might give you a small discount for long stays. Your best bet might be to google some "bed & breakfast" places. Ones outside the centre of London will be much cheaper than central London ones.

Also, there might be issues with you travelling without a legal guardian.

Whatever you do, *don't* just wander around and try to find somewhere. That is dangerous and stupid.

Answer 2

The International Student House is the way to go. It's in an awesome location, and there are loads of cool ppl staying there. It is like a hostel in a way, but it's not as grungy. It's sort of like a cross between a dorm and a hotel...

My parents live in London, so I've never actually stayed at the ISH, but I've hung out there & gone on trips they've organised, and give them a thumbs up.

I'm pretty positive they'll let you stay there on your own at 15, but you'll want to double check. I seriously doubt any hotel will let you check in if you're under 18.

I can't believe your rents will let you do that, though! I'm begging mine just to let me go to Paris on my own for a few days, and I'm older than you are. Lucky duck.

Good luck, and be safe. : )

You could live in a tent in my garden. I will only charge you five pennies.

Answer 4

you should just walk around and find a nice place.

Answer 5

you could join the youth hostels association

there are plenty of hostels across london, and they're safe and (relatively) cheap i guess
