Where to stay in London

• South Kensington: near the big free museums and Hyde Park.
• Covent Garden and the West End: theaters, restaurants and central sights.
• King's Cross: trains to Paris and the rest of the UK, good value.

January and February are the cheapest. Summer and the weeks before Christmas are the most expensive.

How to get a cheap hotel in London

• Compare the same room on more than one site. Booking.com, Expedia, Hotels.com and Agoda often show different prices for the same hotel in London.
• Stay Sunday to Thursday if you can. In most cities weekend nights cost more, while business hotels drop their prices on weekends.
• Pick a free cancellation rate, then check again a week or two before your trip. If the price drops, book again and cancel the first one.
• Look one neighborhood out. Hotels a short train or bus ride from the center of London are usually cheaper than those next to the main sights.
• Check the total with taxes and fees. Resort fees, city taxes and parking can add a lot, so compare final prices, not nightly rates.
