Accommodation in London (not hotels)

[FatLazyContractor]

Yes, anyone done this? Worked in London & lived in a caravan/boat?

I know some Geordie hookers who do that. They love rocking the boats on the Thames.

There's a few floating brothels around docklands

Na, he couldn't afford it, he was a perm.
Not far from Tower Hill, should you get the urge for a wander

I was thinking about doing this but I suddenly remembered I had self-respect, money and a choice.

I sometimes wonder how much moolah some of these guys get out of bed for.
If I was working anywhere away I always stay somewhere decent and the client pays on top.

As long as I have a HD telly, a king size bed, room service and a poker room nearby I'm happy.

Hi all

Apologies if this has been done before, but here goes:

I live in Cheltenham and have a (perm) offer for a job in Birmingham. Seeing them tomorrow to finalise it and the skills are perfect for my CV but it's a small company and I think the sticking point will be me wanting to have a day working from home - I find the larger companies tend to be happier with this than the smaller ones.

I'm not spending 3 1/2 hours 5 days a week in a car for a perm job, so if they insist i'll turn it down. As i've been off for 4 months i'll just wait til after NY and go for contracts in London. Don't mind being away from home as long as i'm earning a decent amount and I can cry myself to sleep at night whilst doing certifications / watching youporn.

So, my questions:

1. Are there any accommodation option in/near London apart from hotels? I don't care about a caravan on a park with a shower as it's the means to an end and probably only a few months. Narrowboat, anything - does anybody have any experience of this sort of thing? Or are there decent hotels for 4 nights a week with reasonable rates?

2. I'll probably need to set up a ltd co or umbrella quickly - any links on here or elsewhere or advice? I'm not bothered about squeezing the last bit of tax out, just want it straightforward.

Thanks for any help - last time I was contracting was before Y2K, so i'm a bit rusty...

Train to Birm from Cheltenham easy surely?

Do they have HotelF1 or equivalent in London?

The rates are very low and I always managed to get a good discount by doing favours for the chambermaids
