Any suggestion for a reasonable place to stay at the lowest cost possible (exchange rate is killing :P)? Easy access to the sights would be great!! Any must see places in London? Thanks in advance.

Foreign student studying in London live here, but they also cater for short-time stays. You need not be a student to stay here. It's near Regent's park. a ten-minute walk to Oxford Street. Food in the canteen is reasonably priced, they also have an ointernet cafe and a bar. They have singles, doubles, triples with and without facilities. It's still not cheap but cheap for London. Is this your first time in London? There are so many must-see places. I'll make a list for you, what are your interests? --- “I travel not to go anywhere, but to go. I travel for travel’s sake.

I'm checking out the page. Yes, it's my first time in Europe and in London. Will be going to Spain and then to London for a short trip. Guess won't be able to do too much in 2 days? I am more towards sight-seeing. Have you heard of Piccadilly Backpackers Hotel? The address is 12 Sherwood Street and also The Generator at Compton Place, Off 37 Tavistock Place Are these two places of easy access to the city?

I haven't heard of the other one. Can't be chatty at the moment have to do some teaching. --- “I travel not to go anywhere, but to go. I travel for travel’s sake.
