Hiya folks,

I'm looking for cheap accommodation in London next week for one, maybe two nights from 4th April (Wednesday) to pick up a prize which I won in a competition on here. (Thanks Kipper). The location of the offices I am to pick up the prize from is Fenchurch Street in London if this is any help. (Alas I have no idea about London at all being a not well travelled Dundonian. Sorry.)

Ideally I'd like to stay somewhere close either to the offices, or to a tube station where I can travel easily as I'm a single female travelling alone and a bit nervous.

Somewhere basic is fine, budget say around £30 a night, breakfast a bonus but not essential as it's just somewhere to sleep ideally.

Thanks in advance.

weather in Tunisia mid to late April should be about 23-25

SloppyChops off here went and loved it

Booking is through Thomsons site but go to hotel section and build your own the package price wont be as low as what I have found

Yes the El Kebir is a fantastic hotel,we had a wondeful week there in November.They do cater for kids and have a very good in house animation team but when we went there wasnt many kids there at all.

Like I said YOUR WELCOME.

Well ya pays ya money ya takes ya chance it can rain in august.
Weather isnt guarenteeded anywere.

But Tunisia is as good a place as any and it will be better than here...lol

Glad

1-Any North West
2-14 nights
3-10th - 12th August
4-would only do a night flight if saving was substantial
5-2 adults 2 kids (ages 15 and 14)
6-All-inclusive
7-prefer a smaller hotel, 4* or higher
8-only looking at Majorca
9-entertainment every night, activities for kids in the day
10-looking to book in the next few weeks
11-£3000

never been in August before but fitting in with kids hols this year
I can't find much left in Majorca for those dates

I know everywhere is busy in Aug so don't want a large complex with 1000's of rooms, some I've looked at have good reviews but fall down in August due to amount of people there and overcrowding etc
