Latest on London Lodging

Budget central London digs are hard to come by -- the price of a pretty grotty private room (no bathroom) in lively Piccadilly Circus will set you back $64 right now; the same smackers in quiet Paddington buy a decent room with a view (yes bathroom). Bunks in London hostel dorms are running $13-$31/night. Read flashpacker hotel and hostel reviews with a focus on private rooms and wifi whereabouts, make reservations and plan your stay across the pond.
