Just need safe and clean

Looking for an inexpensive hotel for 3 nights in August

 

Just needs to be in a safe area and clean. Doesn't have to be anything fancy.

 

Any recommendations?

Any particular area in London?  Close to something specific?  This is like asking for an inexpensive hotel in NYC.

Nowhere in central London is inexpensive, but some areas are less expensive than others.

Safe and tolerably convenient areas include Paddington, Earl's Court and around King's Cross station, Just make sure it's a hotel handy to a tube (London's extensive metro system) station.

Even further out can be OK if near a tube station. Tube trains are frequent & fast

 

Find a few that seem to suit, we can then comment on their locations

It may have changed in recent years but the area around Kings Cross station rightly had something of a reputation as a red light district. I now stay 10 minutes walk down the road near Euston station which doesnt seem to attract the "ladies of the night".

 

It might be worth Diane also considering staying in an area that was convenient for her London arrival/departure, rather than having a distance to schlep with luggage.

Yes, Kings + was known for ladies of the night. But indeed it has changed, over the past decade or longer.

 

Good point about travel. Where from, Diane, and where to ?

The final destination will be LHR

 

Will be coming in to London by train but still waiting to hear which line/station.

If you tell us from where from, we should be able to figure which station.

For LHR, near Paddington station has direct train & tube connections to LHR and is probably the closest to the sights of central London

Just got the information I need. 

 

Going from LHR to Reading. Then back to London for a few days. Then London to LHR.
