The best cheap but chic London hotels

London may be one of the most expensive cities in the world to visit, but I’m here to tell you – it doesn’t have to be!

In fact, in recent years their cheap hotel offering has got much better, so here’s my top picks when it comes to cheap but chic London hotels that will look great on Instagram without costing you a fortune.

How to get the best price possible

Knowing what hotels are good value is one thing but finding the best rate is another!

As prices are forever changing, I’m a big fan of sharing how I find the best rate possible so that you can save money not only this time, but in the future as well.
