We have booked to see Les Mis in London on May 4th this year, we need accomodation for two adults and the cheapest way to travel, can anyone help as some of the rates we are getting will need a mortgage to pay !!!!

Thanks

On May 4, travelodge have rooms for £35 at Euston. Right next to the station. The Kings X Royal Scot lodge is only £24, but is half a mile away.
Cheap train tickets will not be on sale yet, And the cheapest way around London is with an Oyster card (see the transport for London site).

ps Save a bit via quidco as well.

Personally I don't recommend the Royal Scot Travelodge - I've stayed there a couple of times and it's £24 for a reason. I've heard good reports of the Euston one, but not stayed myself.

As you say, Advance train tickets only go on sale around 12 weeks in advance (although may be considerably later than this for the date in question as it's a bank holiday weekend so train journeys may be disrupted by engineering work).

The KXRS lodge is a bit shambolic, but it`s not actually awful. The Euston one was fine (stayed a few times). If the OP is arriving at Euston, they could dump their luggage in their room within minutes of leaving the train.

The hotel rates given for TLs are good considering Sunday 4th May is during the bank holiday weekend and I would book ASAP. Are you sure the performance date is Sunday 4th May as usually Les Mis has Monday to Saturday performances at the Queens Theatre?

Sorry my mistake it's the performance on the Saturday 3rd. Is the euston lodge near to the theatre?

Thanks everyone

We went to London recently and stayed in the Premier Inn near Enfield Lock. 10 minute walk (or £5 taxi ride) to station, which is in zone 6, so you can get a travel card. Travel card for 2 adults/2children £15 with railcard. Premier Inn on offer at £25 a night for a family room.

Too far to walk but transport links in London are quick and usually efficient. Use to find http://journeyplanner.tfl.gov.uk/user/XSLT_TRIP_REQUEST2?language=en buses and tubes.

Well, I guess that depends on your definition of 'too far'!

That's not the shortest walking route either, I regularly walked from St Pancras to Wardour St and it took 30 minutes tops and I'm not a quick walker.

Bloomsbury St/Torrington Place/Tottenham Crt Rd/Goodge St/Berners St/Wardour St will take around 25 mins, you might save 5 mins tops by tube.
