London on the Cheap
Admittedly, Barking is not Central London, but at only £25 per night for a single room, it’s well worth the short tube ride. In addition to which the hotel is situated directly across the road to the tube/ train station, making it literally only 30 minutes ride from down town London. Don’t get me wrong, luxury it’s not, and anyone looking for a leisure break should certainly look elsewhere, but for a business traveler on a budget, anyone relocating to London for work and in need of cheap temporary accommodation, or even backpackers, it’s ideal.
Contrary to what the name suggests, Barking Bed & Breakfast functions like a hotel, although breakfast is included. I travel a lot, and rarely have I come across such helpful and polite people as Mr. Ali, the owner and Mr. Pillie. . Be aware that there is only one shower and bathroom per floor, although I think that they do also have en-suite rooms, in addition to family rooms. That said, each room has a basin & running water, TV, fridge and coffee making machine and for £25, in London that’s amazing !!
