I've just picked up the Paddington Hilton for £118 for Saturday night and there are lots of places where rooms are £50-100. If you can get some last minute tickets then there are hotel bargains to be had.

Lengthy piece on BBC News just now about this. One example given was an (un-named) hotel near Hyde Park which had cut it's rate from over £500 to under £100 per night.

Other areas mentioned were shops and food outlets being quiet, and Olympic advisors outnumbering the tourists they were there to help.

One of the strangest things about London at the moment is that you cannot walk 100m without some purple shirted helper saying hello, asking if you are OK and need any help.

Saw this at London Bridge tonight tons of people in purple vests and not so many riders.
