    Think of it more as six rich couples sharing the cost and then it doesn't seem quite so bad!!!
    Been on the market at that price since April, still not rented now just a couple of weeks before the Games. Even the mega-rich seem to have more sense than to pay that much.

    In fact, I've heard the whole olympic-inflation bubble has burst, or in truth was never properly inflated. Hotels that were charging 200%+ premiums are now trying to flog their empty rooms at near last years prices and apparently, if you want a cheap last minute stay in London, August is the time to go. Everyone has listened to the scare stories about how crowded London will be and occupation rates are massively down so now is the time to snatch up large discounts http://www.guardian.co.uk/uk/2012/jul/07/olympics-london-hotels-slash-prices
    Come on people, it's not difficult: lose means to be unable to find, loose means not being fixed in place. So if you have a hole in your pocket you might lose your loose change.

    I see what you mean, that would bring it down to under 20k per week per couple, a veritable bargain :o

    Don't care about the rats (probably got some living in the thatch anyway) but I would care about the fact that according to both the description and all those photographs, the place does not seem to have a kitchen :eek:

    Ivy-covered house blights the neighbourhood after out-of-control plant is left uncut for five years

    Locals say the ivy quickly grew out of control when the property's former owner, believed to have been an elderly woman, moved out. But now it looks as though neighbours will not have to contend with the wild plant any longer after a new owner called in the experts to hack away the greenery.

    Amazing the UK peeps are so polite and didn't just cut a section out the stem years back!
