Several years ago I was one of the helpers on a school trip to London and we stayed in the Youth Hostel in Rotherhithe. It was very good indeed. The costs are normally very reasonable in hostels. This site has a lot to choose from. Remove brackets. http://www.hostelworld(.)com/findabed(.)php/ChosenCity(.)London/ChosenCountry(.)England Have a great trip Sue

Forgot to say that you can park your car in Waterloo station and you can reserve a space.

My brother took his family (he's got four children) to London for the weekend a few weeks ago. They stayed in the London County Hall Premier Travel Inn which is right next to the London Eye. I think it's about £90 per room per night but, as is usual with Travel Inns, breakfast is extra. He said it was a great location if you have children.

I'm between Croydon and Bromley.

Just been to London and stayed at the Travel Lodge in Kings Cross and got it for £26 a night onlin plus brekkie on top but that was only £5.25 each. Have fun dawn

My apologies for not replying sooner to all your lovely replies. Thank you so much for taking the time to answer my request, really looking forward to my visit. Cheers Jane

Brenda AKA as Phoenix With Singed Feathers is the lady whoes name i couldn't recall she lives in Croydon. AM sure there's others too.

Wonder if any one else is near us?

Aileen isn't far from me in Carshalton, there's a lady in Sutton, and several over Epsom way. Oh and one whoes name escapes me is in Croydon. Can see her face but can't for the life of me think of her name.

Wish I was. Im between Coventry and Bedworth.

Am in Wallington, so not far from you. Not that i'd like to walk it LOL Jane look at this site.....https://www.travelodge(.)co.uk remove the brackets. Look like Croydon has £26 rooms for much of July.

Last minute dot com is a good site for hotels, and you can buy your London Eye quick pass tickets there. Oops theyve censored the email address!!! Well from the words Last Minute, hopefully u know which one I mean...

Oh Shelli. were neighbours then? Where abouts are you, i'm in Warlingham.

Irish girl no worries I just know from bitter experiance that not all lodges offer that price :(((( you must be near me then as I'm two stops from West Croydon.

Thats why i said i'm in Surrey, one stop from Croydon.As i don't know about other charges.

Hi, Just a thought that if you are on a tight budget try the Youth Hostel Association, they have several places in London. Have not been to any of them, but have had good experience elsewhere and they do family rooms, Google it and you can see the availability/cost etc. Hope you enjoy yourself, Rose x

Irish girl not all lodges offer the £15 rate you're best off looking at the trvale lodge website and seeing if they have any offers for the lodge you want. Croydon often has deals, and that not far from London either. You can get trains direct to Farringdon for FRC and LMA

I have a travel lodge by me in Surrey, i know if you book a month in advance its 15 pound per room per night, 2 weeks before travel is 26 pound or after that 56 pound. I am only 20 min away from london by train.

hi jane i went to london last year it was my first visit too, i stayed at the travel lodge, Drury lane. it cost about £90 per night for a family room that sleeps up to 4, the rooms are only basic but very clean. and its only a short walk away from covent garden tube station and not far from euston station, and the british musem. also if you walk up drury lane you can get on the hop on hop off tour buses which stop at all the major attractions including the london eye. hope this helps beryl
