Finding hotels in London is not difficult - the city receives millions of visitors into its boundaries every year, being the second most-visited city in Europe after Paris, and with a population already bursting at the seams London welcomes its visitors with open arms. Houses and hotels in central London are known for their near-extortionate prices, but discount hotels can be found if one has the inclination to look hard enough.

Located near Liverpool Street station, the Saint Gregory Hotel, Shoreditch is great value for its location and facilities, boasting an on-site cocktail lounge, gym and rooftop restaurant. It remains perfect for the modern businessman, given its proximity to the old financial centre as well as many trendy bars and restaurants.

The Britannia Hotel Hampstead is a little further out of the way, found in London's West End and with excellent transport links - ideal for those needing to stay in London before travelling further afield the following day - nearby King's Cross & St Pancras rail stations as well as the Eurostar terminal at Waterloo. On the other hand, perfect for both the businessman and traveller alike, the Shaftesbury Hotel Kensington is centrally-located, close to Earls Court tube station.

All of which just goes to show -- if you're prepared to dig around and find the best deal for London hotels, you can easily find luxury accommodation in your price range. But book early - London's popularity waits for no one!
