Hoping to travel to london early next summer to see a concert at the 02. Anyone got any ideas on what area to stay.

Need someone for 3 adults...single beds. Very reasonanbly priced and close to someone nice to go out in the evening. Any ideas?

whats 'reasonbaly priced' IYO?

onadietcokebreak · 23/10/2009 12:06

well its meant to be part of a cheap girls weekend away...maybe 2 nights costing £50 each....or is that just unrealistic!

OP posts:
onadietcokebreak · 23/10/2009 12:09

Not sure about the 3 single beds thing, can two of you not share a double then the other one on sofa bed?

Do you mean £50pp/pn, you shouldnt struggle to find a room for 3 of you for £150per night.
But you may get a Travelodge or similar for about £90per night for the three of you.
Are you staying week nights or weekend and when are you going?

onadietcokebreak · 23/10/2009 12:50

Two of us could share...so a family room would be do able at a travel lodge.

We are looking for June 12th and 13th.

Just no idea of what area to look at. Saturday day arrive..shopping...sat night....meal and drinks...sun chilling and waiting for concert...mon..more shopping/sight seeing then home.

Thanks for your help with this mosschops30

There's a Premier Inn at County Hall which is a great location as you can hop on the Jubliee at Waterloo (just round corner) straight to O2 but is also only a few stops on tube (or in fact walking distance) from Covent Garden and central London. South Bank has had loads of investment recenetly so there's lots of nice restaurants and bars round there now.

The travelodge in Covent Garden is £188 for the two nights for those dates.

Or £208 for 2 nights at the Holiday Inn Bloomsbury.

OP posts:
onadietcokebreak · 23/10/2009 13:14

county hall would have been nice though but wouldnt allow 3 adults

OP posts:
livinginadreamworld · 23/10/2009 13:16

covent garden not on the jubilee line though so will need to change..... looking for somewhere straight forward and easy for the late trip back!

livinginadreamworld · 23/10/2009 13:20

aha, only two of us so we are looking at county hall. try ringing them instead of booking online, we booked a premier inn for three adults before, just had to do it on the phone, one adults takes the same amount of room as a 16 yr old!

onadietcokebreak · 23/10/2009 13:24

good point not even considered that....

OP posts:
onadietcokebreak · 23/10/2009 13:27

thanks will call them or make one person drop out LOL

Just rang and had to book two rooms.£104 per night!!!..but fully cancellable. They said they were nearly full so ring quick if you want one.

Whats the check in arrangements there. If I said I had a child and didnt could I get away with it?

OP posts:
Sunshinemummified · 23/10/2009 13:55

I've never stayed there bu my best friend's parents did once and I went up to visit their room with them no problems so I'm sure you could sneak someone in if you needed to

onadietcokebreak · 24/10/2009 09:20

BON JOVI tickets all booked Im so excited.

Have secured the premier inn but too expensive with 2 rooms so will be looking for something cheaper....dont think i can risj one of us not having somewhere to stay if the "sneaking2 plan doesnt work.

OP posts:
mosschops30 · 24/10/2009 10:49

Can I just make a suggestion?

If you stayed at either of the cheaper hotels I suggested (both will sleep 3 adults), you would only have to vhange at Green Park to join the Jubilee Line as both of these hotels areas are on the Picadilly Line.
So you get the benefit of a cheaper room, thats sleeps all of you, is close to shops restauramts amd bars, and allows easy access to Jubilee Line.
