British Museum - One of London's Popular Tourist Attractions

Because more and more travellers come for long weekends or mid-week breaks there is an ever-increasing demand for accommodation in the area.
While London is renowned for luxury hotels, there are plenty of other low-cost choices to be found, such as rooms and dormitories in youth hostels or rooms and apartments in the capital's university and college halls of residence. Here is a selection of hotels, rooms and apartments at prices to suit every pocket.
