Pricing every day is different, but unless it’s a specific peak day, you should be able to do better for £300-350ish. There are usually 2-3 weekends or dates a year where it’s every hotel which is nuts.

Every time I've checked Bankside, it's ridiculously priced. I think even £350 is ridiculous, but £500? Wow. That's just throwing money away.
