    Ouch! For a flatshare with two others that is very expensive for the area. Good luck finding someone.

    Thanks in advance.
    Hooker costs £200 per night with shower (shared) but you might be late for work

    To be fair all the rooms I've found working away in the UK have been by spare room or from a mate.

    There as other contractors I've worked with have stayed in hotels then have found places via people at clientco.

    Buckingham Palace is nice, but can be a tad pricey for some.

    The Thames is nearby, and I'm sure you can find one of those park gyms near by.

    another +1 for airbnb without it I wouldn't have found accommodation in Zurich and competition for accommodation here in insane. Also SPARE ROOM for flatshare, house share, flat share & rooms for rent is pretty good at times, best of luck with it.

    Have alook at Staybridge Suites in Stratford (next to the Olympic Park and a couple of hundred meters from the underground) I got a good deal there plus the room includes kitchen, there is a gym but no pool but there is a laundrette and plenty of places to eat in the neighbourhood.

    Thanks Guys and gals. Laterooms currently looking for £165 for a bloody holiday inn per night...

    I'll try this other one, but it looks like I'll be moving house week to week, which I'd like to avoid.

    Cheers

    Keep your tech in your sleping bag though or it'll be nicked and sold to enable a crack purchase.

    Have fun.
