the cheapest ever is a hostel called the generator in russel square. it's about 15 quid a night, i think.
the one time i stayed there, i had to share a room with three horrible boys. a texan, a south african and a norwegian. the texan snored all night, the south african nattered away in his sleep and the norwegian farted some sort of evil all-i've-ever-eaten-for the-past-30-years-is-salt-cod seriously nasty farts.
:l

so para is basically advising you not to stay at the hostel.

i stayed in the generator. its no bad, a bed and a shower if thats all yer after.
i too had to share my room with a mad russian.
i left the room to get some beer and came back, tried to open the door and it was jammed shut.
i thought - oh fuck, this freak is heavy masturbating all over my fucking bed.
turns out he was doing squats with my fucking bed.
wierd.

do a search online for 3* hotels around town you'll be surprised at what you can find this time of year.
avoid paddington unless you want to awake to the sound of marathon shagging in the middle of the night from them upstairs

i am too going to london this week and still hoping to hear from a friend who's living there.
need to avoid hostels at all costs

okay now come on, somebody here needs to know a few nice clubs that are not too stylish.
maybe a bit childish, but how dangerous is London? never had a problem to walk home drunk at any hour here in Vienna, but I guess one should be a bit more careful in London.. correct?

I've never stayed here or heard much about it, but it's cheap!
Also, I never had any trouble walking home late in London...but that's not to say it's safe all over the place. Check out the Design Museum. It's pretty cool...
