Anybody worked there before? Also any idea on the cheapest way to stay there during the week? Got a possible gig lined up there.

about 110 quid a night will be the cheapest option (if booked in advance).

Travel Lodge on Liverpool Street.
from 85quid a night...

Just had a look - it turns out it's the building on Golden Lane specifically. Surely there must be a cheaper option than that - although it would still be worth while....

I was looking a gig in Westminister, sacked it cos of the cost of accom. and that was a 600/dayer. Just not worth it....

The only good thing about Golden Lane is the nearby leisure centre.

You couldn't find anywhere nearby that was reasonable enough to afford on 600/day??

I've worked in that area before, there's loads to do i.e. pubs, food choices, gyms, strippers etc.

I'd recommend staying towards East London for lower rental. You can get a tube to Liverpool St (or Moorgate / Bank) which takes about 5 minutes.

I hear there's a new invention in London that gets around the problem of high city-centre hotel costs. It's called the Choob or something....

I'm already in a contact for less than that obviously (but not that much) but my only current expenses are season ticket on train - £250 a month and I get home every night.

I reckoned the weekly expenses to to be 700 quid plus there's the away from home factor - that's 140 quid off the daily rate already.

Still ongoing this one, they want to DV me - hence my post on that a while back, which also makes me a bit nervous, and means also absolutely no WFH....

This has dragged for a month or more already, so if come end of current gig (April) it might be ripe and I'll have no choice!
