London B&B/Accomodation Help Needed!

[Incognito]

My mate used to stay here when contracting down Vauxhall

Welcome to The Comfort Inn, London - Vauxhall

I think he got it down to around £45/£50 a night as he block booked in advance. You'll need to speak to the manager though and tell them you'll be staying there for x amount of months for y days a week.

Stayed there once when we went out on the lash, bathrooms were clean and rooms were warm.

my modis operandi is to stay in a cheap hotel or b&b for a week, spend the lunches and evenings looking in the ad in tescos and the post office window for people letting a room out.
you can get a room for about 40-50 a week, if you dont mind slumming it a bit

Doesn't SAS live in South London?

You could share his bunk bed?

Central London B&Bs are an utter mug's game, grossly overpriced and with all the disadvantages others have mentioned.

Enrol with SpareRoom.co.uk or mondaytofriday.com and you're sure to find a cheap room in Pimlico, or somewhere such as Lambeth south of the River.

Other advantages of renting a room include (1) No problems with B&Bs being full and having to swap and change (2) You can turn up on sunday evening without needing to pay for an extra night, and then you won't be knackered having had to get up at silly o'clock on monday morning to commute from home to London.

I'm paying £60 per week for my room in Cambridge, which isn't much more than what I paid _daily_ for my B&B the first week on this gig. (edit: I do the same as EO - B&B it the first week or so, and ask around at clientco for areas to avoid etc - Sometimes clientco staff or contractors know people letting rooms)
