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.

Hotel Riu Plaza London Victoria

8/10 Good
"Excellent location close to train station. Great breakfast, though did not like the fact we had to cross busy intersection to get to eat. Pillows were lacking and not comfortable. Shower has frosted glass panel visible in room. When light is on in bath, it also lights up room. No beverages available for purchase on site. Room was ready for early check in which was a bonus."

4 tips for savvy savings when booking a hotel in London

  1. Book for the cheapest times: The most affordable time to visit London is from January to March, when hotel prices tend to be lower. A stay of at least 3 to 4 days is recommended to fully appreciate the city's rich history and culture. During your visit, you can explore iconic landmarks, fascinating museums, stunning architecture, and vibrant theatres, all of which offer great value for money. Additionally, don't miss the chance to experience urban monuments and enjoy budget-friendly shopping options. With the possibility that prices may drop during this period, it's an ideal time for those on a budget to immerse themselves in London's cultural offerings.
  2. Look for last-minute deals on Hotels.com: To explore last-minute deals to London on Hotels.com, begin by checking the DealsOpens in a new window or Last-Minute Deals sections, where you may discover discounted rates on hotels approaching your travel date. Consider enabling email alerts or push notifications to stay informed about flash sales and special offers, so you could find the best prices available. Additionally, the Smart Shopping tool in the app allows you to compare hotel prices and amenities, helping you find budget options. With these resources, you're more likely to catch price drops or newly available rooms for your spontaneous getaway.
  3. Be flexible with dates: Prices can fluctuate based on factors such as the hotel's location, star rating, and the time of year, so being flexible with your travel dates may help you save on your stay in a London hotel. For those seeking a distinctive experience, boutique hotels can provide a more personalised touch and occasionally offer better value. When you book through Hotels.com, we'll inform you whether the price for your chosen dates is above or below the average. If the price is on the higher end, we can suggest more economical dates, which could enhance your chances of securing a better deal.
  4. Consider your location: Hotels situated near the city centre usually tend to be more expensive, but thanks to London's superb public transport connections, you may discover a more affordable independent hotel located a bit further out that remains well connected. For those keen to explore alternative, less crowded neighbourhoods or even lesser-known towns nearby, there is often great value to be found. Opting for these alternative destinations could provide a more authentic and budget-friendly experience.
