    I stayed at this hall of residence. 34 quid. Just behind the Holiday Inn Express in Old St. Can't fault it for the price.

    Actually IIRC there is a holiday inn on old street that would be handy for the city and a night out. Not sure on cost though.

    The Great Eastern looks alright, probably quite expensive though.

    Edit: Not even called the great eastern anymore. What is the world coming to.

    Surely he should paint "Stop the war" on the side and pitch it in Parliament Square. That way plod will keep an eye on it for him whilst at the client site.

    nice recommendation DP, however unfortunately they only have the Linley Suite and not the Brook Penthouse available for the nights i'm in town so I wouldn't want the entourage to have to slum it
