You will not sleep cheaply in London, forget about it. Housing and train prices in London blew up every budgeting into some absurd dimension.

Used to be a few cheap options . . .

    at the Twopenny Hangover, the lodgers sit in a row on a bench; there is a rope in front of them, and they lean on this as though leaning over a fence. A man, humorously called the valet, cuts the rope at five in the morning.
