ok need some help here, I need some ideas on a place to stay after a night out on the tiles in London that is going to be as cheap as chips....toilet and bed only required as its a wait for the first train back situation.

i hate the fact trains stop so early in London, especially as i get out of the club around 3 or 4 in morning.

cheers in advance

Well if it really is 3 or 4AM then it surely can't be too long before the trains start?

Regent Palace in Picadilly Circus, no frills and cheap but usually full of foreign student totty, ideal when the fire alarm goes off in the middle of the night (which it does quite often).

Not sure how chaep and nasty you want it (the accomodation I mean) but have stayed here a couple of times www.generatorhostels.com/london/mainlondonhostel.cfm
Full of foreign students and used to be a prison - you can tell

But it doesnt really matter when you are too p to notice!

the one trains don't start till about 7.30 on a sunday, and i have done 3/4 hours at liverpool street before...trust me it sucks so i'd rather shell out for a few hours warmth....but obviously cheap as possible.

The generator looks good thanks

Travelodge do a £26 a night deal if you book in advance, not sure whether this applies to london or not.

What would you consider to be cheap?
What part of London?

The g/f works for this crowd www.jurysinn.com and they are defo great value for money - they have 3* hotels in Islington and Chelsea.

There is a brand new travelodge just around the corner from liverpool street. I think it about 40quid if you book early. A mate stayed there after a night out - said it was ok... I think its in New Street, off of Bishopsgate.

It's just behind where I work (which is Bishopsgate):

1 Harrow Place, London,
E1 7DB

Never been there though so can't comment on quality but it is very close to Liverpool Street.

If you have a miltary or services background the Union Jack Club at Waterloo is fantastic value for a room with shared bathroom at about £34 a night and spotlessly clean and tidy. Cheap bar (for central London).

try this lot. www.priceline.co.uk
I use them all the time. In London I get 5* hotels for £60 a night. But you can select 2 stars and I bet you would get one for £25 a night.

When I have done the late night clubbing thing, we usually go to the 24 hour cinemas in Leicester Square.. £10 a ticket, if you are awake you see a film, if you sleep then greeeeeeeat
