London is a fantastic UK holiday destination and very popular for short city breaks, but for those travelling on a budget, accommodation can seem expensive. However, it is possible to find cheap hotels in London online, especially if you book last minute. Check out our London hotel deals section for the best discounts. Book late and for a few extra pounds you could find accommodation with extra facilities such as London hotels with pools or stay in hotels in central locations such as Covent Garden hotels, which are a handy base for sightseeing.

Whilst hotels are the obvious choice, London offers a wide variety of accommodation options. London self catering flats are a great choice if you would like to save money on dining out. Holiday flats and apartments are popular for breaks of a week or more, although you can also find serviced apartments in London to rent for the weekend. If you like the friendly service of a hotel, but prefer to stay somewhere where you can park your car outside, search online for a London B&B with parking.

Parking can be difficult and expensive in London, so staying in a hotel with a car park can save you money and time. West End hotels with parking and Camden hotels with parking are both very popular with tourists. If you are going abroad on holiday, look for airport hotels with park and fly offers. Gatwick hotels with parking deals can save you money on airport parking, and you may even find some Heathrow hotels with free parking.
