    I know there is a new Travelodge opening in May at Euston so that maybe an option and not too pricey aswell if booked in advance.That maybe worth checking out.

    try hostelbookers.com - it's not all hostels btw. Read the reviews carefully as some of the cheaper ones are shared dorms which might not suit. Also yha.org for youth hostels - expect to pay about £20pppn but will be more if you want a family room - these generally include brekkie and are lovely and clean. you don't have to be a member or a youth but if you're not a member there's an extra £3 each to pay IIRC - it might be worth getting membership. for getting around while you're there tfl.gov.uk is the london transport site - it might be cheaper to stay slightly outside of the centre depending on transport links

    have a lovely time :)
    I'm going to feed our children non-organic food and with the money saved take them to the zoo - half man half biscuit 2008

    Does it necessarily need to be close to Victoria? Tube travel isn't expensive and by widening the search area you could find a better deal.

    There have been several threads recently regarding hotel accomodation in London. If you do a quick forum search it should provide you with lots more info/places/companies to try etc.

    Sorry, just to clarify - is that the 12th and 14th (but not 13th) or the nights of 12th - 14th (3 nights total) ?
