One of the most frequent requests I am asked is how to find a hotel close to London without spending a lot of money or with free parking. WHERE TO STAY? Depending on the direction you are traveling towards London from I would normally either suggest a hotel or guesthouse within a few minutes' drive of the M25 or just on the outskirts of zone 1. The cheapest options tend to be in areas such as #Watford or #Wembley for North West London. #Lewisham, #Blackheath or #Croydon are
