I usually try to stay in university housing being provided as B&B when the students are gone. But school is still in session during the month of June, so I found an inexpensive hotel in Belgravia. This is a very up-scale area, and very convenient to everything in London. My hotel was only two blocks from Victoria Station, and just around the corner from Victoria Coach Station.

| My room - very small, living out of my suitcase, computer on my bed, but still very convenient. |

| My view, directly across the street. |

I really cannot complain about my stay. The staff were very helpful, and the location was incredibly convenient. But, the next trip when I cannot stay in university B&B, I will go for a bit more expensive. I also learned a lesson: I really cannot do all I want to in London over a 5-night stay. I need a minimum of a week!
