    Hotels in London

    Off to the Wembley area middle of next month to be part of an audience for a TV show being filmed

    Any good places to stay near Wembley? Price is obviously a factor as is quality (might be making a day of it with the gf so will have stuff I will want to keep at the hotel during the show as it's no cameras etc)

    Premier Inn is £70 as a yardstick

    Any suggestions on places to go, that is all I'm looking for

    I know it just seems nowhere near where I will be and pretty poor quality in comparison

    The latest I can be there is 12:15pm, no idea how long it will be on for

    I'll probably take the train, need to see how much it would cost to drive though as it's going to be £100 to get the train down for 2 at the least, I'll be looking at ~£80 tops driving on petrol, but as the price is similar currently I'm flexible and open to ideas

    Re: Hotels in London

    Ah my point is you probably wouldn't want to stay in wembly then. Go for the Easyhotel or even YHA it and go out in Central London afterwards

    Re: Hotels in London

    What about storage of my camera and stuff like that if I'm in central London? I'm going to have to check if the place has a spot I can store my baggage in which I'd rather not impose

    Re: Hotels in London

    Well I found a loophole on the a certain site that has 'secret' hotel rooms... one that deals with rooms that are late.. so I can find out what hotel I'll be at

    Forgot the one I planned to go to but it looked pretty srubbishrubbishrubbishrubbishy and near the centre of London
