Cheap one night stay London for 3 lads

Don't know if anyone can advise please. My 2 sons and a mate are going to London by train to Liverpool Street then onto 02 Arena for a concert on 2nd March. They can get £6 train tickets for travel but will have to stay over in London as first train home is 6am and they don't want to hang around for 5 hours or so. Any ideas welcome of cheap places to stay?
There's no place like home :)

Feeling down? Weak in body? Makes no difference to me, I think of you all when I'm sitting quietly.

Hugs and healing thoughts are always going your way.

    They could go clubbing and get the 6am train.

    Lol I said that but, the youngest one is 19 and doesn't want to go pay for a place so he may just walk the streets (joking I think). The other 2 are prepared to pay and just get a few hours sleep. I'll check the hostel link though.

    Try www.travellodge.co.uk. The Liverpool St lodge (200 yds from the station) has a family room for £62. These rooms sleep 4. One is supposed to be a `child` but my 3 daughters have never had a problem. Even cheaper is the Kings Cross lodge at £39 and the bus ride is only 90p if you have an Oyster card.
