London and related destinations

Forget the double-decker bus tours – the real London reveals itself when ducking into centuries-old pubs where Shakespeare might have scribbled sonnets over ale. The British Museum houses treasures from every civilisation, all available without spending a penny. Witness the ancient ceremony of the keys at the Tower of London, then compare crown jewels to the sparkling skyline from the London Eye's glass pods. Theater-lovers can score half-price West End tickets at Leicester Square's TKTS booth. Trafalgar Square's pigeons have been banished, but the people-watching remains superb. For a perfect afternoon, grab picnic supplies at Borough Market before sprawling on the grass in Hyde Park, watching locals pretend the fleeting sunshine is perfectly normal.

10/10 Excellent

"Location, Location, Location! This is the perfect hotel centrally located to nearby tube and bus stops which helped tremendously with navigating the city. Room and amenities were good nothing over the top the decor was awesome lots of photo opportunities in the lobby. There was a smell going on in the lobby not sure exactly what the case was could be a sewer line. The staff were pleasant and helpful, and the doorman is a gem."

10/10 Excellent

"Room was clean and the reception staff were helpful. I love that they offer to store your luggage in the case you arrive early. To make it known it seems that the building is mainly used as dorms for students and during the summer months converted to a hotel style accommodation. Just to note our room did not have air conditioning just a small desk fan. We we ready for this as most of UK and EU do not use air con. With that being said it fit our needs and was a pleasant stay overall."

Otherwander Soho Pod Hotel (ADULTS ONLY)

8/10 Good

"This is the perfect location for a traveler wanting to be in the center of it all. The underground entrance for Tottenham Court Road Station is just steps away, which means that Heathrow is just 45 minutes away in one smooth trip. This is not a place to hang out, it's a place to hang your hat while you hit the town. The bed was comfortable, the pod was secure and cozy, think a train berth, and it was quiet and the AC was excellent. It's new, so it was clean."

4 tips for savvy savings when booking a hotel in London

Book for the cheapest times: The most affordable time to visit London is from January to March, when hotel prices tend to be lower.

During this time, you can explore key landmarks, such as iconic monuments, renowned theatres, and impressive museums, all offering great value for money. Whether you're interested in urban architecture, historical sites, or vibrant shopping districts, these few days will provide an enriching experience of London's cultural heritage.
Look for last-minute deals on Hotels.com: To discover enticing last-minute deals to London, begin by exploring the DealsOpens in a new window or Last-Minute DealsOpens in a new window sections on Hotels.com, where you may find discounted hotel rates as your travel date approaches. Enabling email alerts or push notifications can help you stay informed about flash sales and special promotions, enhancing your chances of great savings on hotels. Additionally, the Smart ShoppingOpens in a new window tool available via the app allows you to compare hotel prices and amenities, ensuring you’re the first to know if rooms become available or prices drop for your preferred accommodations.
Be flexible with dates: Prices can fluctuate based on various factors, including the hotel's location, star rating, and the time of year, so being flexible with your travel dates may help you find a more affordable stay in a London hotel. For those in search of a distinctive experience, boutique hotels often provide a more personalised atmosphere and may offer better value. When you book through Hotels.com, we will inform you whether the price for your chosen dates is above or below the average. If the price appears to be on the higher side, we may suggest alternative dates that could lead to a more favourable rate.
Consider your location: Hotels situated near the city centre usually tend to be more expensive, but with London's exceptional public transport links, you may discover a more affordable independent hotel located a bit further out that is still well-connected. For those keen to explore alternative, less crowded neighbourhoods or even lesser-known nearby towns, there is often excellent value for money available. Opting for these alternative destinations could provide a more authentic and budget-friendly experience.
