Any accommodation recommendations please? 2 adults and a 5 year old. Am I looking at £100 per night approx? Thank you.

we don't go into London very often but when we do I tend to stick with the cheapest most central travel lodge, premier inn type place that I can find. because in my experience, unless you are prepared to pay mega mega money all you really need is a bed in an easy to get around location. the travelodges around the main railway stations tend to be Ok and you can sometimes get a deal. lets you save your money and spend it on going out and day trips rather than on a bed.

I agree with mummymeister. The revamped travelodges are actually quite nice and £100 a night won't go far in London.

I think I was about £280 for 3 nights at the premier inn at Tower Bridge. We would walk over Tower Bridge to Tower Hill's tube station and it's easy to navigate London on the Tube X

We stay in Travelodges. If you book way in advance you can get v v cheap rooms, and then have money spare for meals and activities.

Are you going to do proper London for a week? What's on your iternary. Travelodges in zone 3 areas will be less than £100 and may only take you 20 mins on the tube. If you are thinking of taking your 5 year old to a theme park like Chessington then the Premier Inn is really cheap there

Thank you for all your responses.
Actually we are going for IVF at the lister hospital in Battersea but hoping to make it into a bit of a mini break as well. I shall check out the travel lodges and premier inns. Have also looked at some air bnbs but I'm a bit wary of them to be honest. Thanks again.
