Not quite. Apparently everyone travels to London for the holidays.
Lowest price I'm seeing at Bankside is $314 for a 1K basic room for 1 night. At 70,000 points, that's 0.4 cents per point. Lowest price at Metropole is $327/night. At 60,000 points, that's a hair over half a penny a point. Not bad, but not great.
Lots of rooms available outside of London proper for $60-$90.
