    Try Laterooms for the Dolphin House Hotel in Pimlico - I can't praise this place enough - look at the reviews on there for pics and info ( and no I'm a newbie not an affiliate!!) :) I normally get a room rate of about £89, Although I'm roughing it slightly on my next trip -at the travelodge tower bride £52. Not plush but for one night not what the hec! x

    Ah great to hear that someones been there as we are staying there on NY eve, looks great, spa and all...Thx!:T
  • Consider Travelodge, they are not luxury hotels but are ok, you could probably find some for £29.

    Tube would be about £6 a day (check TFL website though)

    I regularly go to London and stay in Travelodges, when they're £29 or £19.

  • It looks like the Dolphin house have rooms on the 31st as well! So that looks highly promising! How far out is it from Tower Bridge etc?
  • And 6quid a day is pretty good. For some reason i thought it was 15+ haha. And yeah iv looked at a few travel lodges. Dont seem too bad. They have a bed, which is always good ;)

    Im also looking at the 31st - 2nd now. But travel lodge are saying like 115 and 85 each night :S. Can anyone see any nice available hotels on the 31st? :) Everywhere seems to be full! :(:(:( Which i can see why! haha

    For the tube get one day travelcards rather than individual tickets for each journey. Valid on buses as well

    The £6 someone mentioned is about the right price for zones 1/2. Single tickets are £4 a time so definitely worth it
  • lastminute.com are doing a half price hotel rooms deal today (today only!)

    There's only one hotel ; Radisson SAS Portman Square but it is coming up at £63 for the 1st jan and is very handy for Oxford St. & the shops. And its a 4* hotel; I haven't checked any reviews but that seems a good price to me.
  • look at https://www.goldentours.co.uk for london sight seeing. you can get a SIC (seat in coach) tour for around £60 inc entrances and attractions and a trip on the london eye!!

    have a good time.
    Scrimping and saving!
  • dzug: yeah a few people have told me the same xD. So day travel tickets it is!

    Wow, fiscalfreckles, I've looked at that hotel before, i cant seem to get it to 63quid thou, or does it half it when you checkout? Im tempted to book that one night and a cheap !!! travel lodge on the 31st :) haha. Dont think i will thou....

    Thats max, i will bare that inmind :) They look good!
  • Ok does anyone think that the travelodge Tower Bridge is alrite? As its pretty cheap for the 31st&1st. Only like 115quid! Which i thinks pretty good!

    I cant find any more hotels for 170 or under that is available and close or am i just being stupid? :)

    Thanks for the help everyone. Very kind as im broke at the moment :(
