Cheap accommodation in London?
I'll be in London from 9 October until 12 October 2018. I'm looking for a cheap room near a subway station for about US$100-US$125/night. Is that possible? Any suggestions?
Thanks!
Thanks!

Look at Premier Inn site. Most are basic but serviceable and often is really good locations. Remember that the prices quoted will include all taxes and fees.

Hi,
The travelodge chain offer reasonable accommodation ( I do not think they are associated with the US travelodge) throughout london ( maybe a little below the Premier Inn standard) also
Regards

Cheap accommodation and London are words usually not associated.
Transport in London can be expensive, depending on how its done.
OP's other related thread--> Anyone here flown BA0326 from London to Paris? Other cheap ways to get to Paris?

And in all honesty the OP isn't going to get much luxury with their proposed budget.

As TBS mentioned, The Travelodge chain doesn't appear on online travel sites like Priceline or Expedia - so if you're outside of the UK you wouldn't know about it . It's probably a notch down from Premier Inn as the rooms are basic, but clean and cheap. A quick search found a few sites at the sub or close to £300 mark. Finsbury Park is currently showing up closest/cheapest at £252 for the cheapest rate for a standard room. Many of its hotels offer a Super Room with additional space etc. Finsbury Park is about 10 to 20 mins from the West End depending if you use the Victoria or Picadilly line.
