Even with the American dollar gaining on the British pound, London hotels are still incredibly expensive. But everyone wants to see the pageantry, the museums, the theater of this fabulous city. How to afford it?  Check out Uptown Reservations, a website geared towards offering alternative accommodations in bed + breakfasts near London.

Bed & Breakfasts from Mayfair to Chelsea, Notting Hill, Pimlico and Holland Park

Uptown Reservations offers a friendly welcome and superlative comfort in some 65 elegant bed and breakfast host homes and charges only £105 (USD$179) per night for a tastefully furnished double or twin room with private bath or shower, a full continental breakfast (juice, cereal, yogurt, fruit, toast, tea or coffee), tax and service. 

The homes, carefully inspected by Uptown and specially chosen for discerning visitors, are located in London's best neighborhoods: Mayfair, Chelsea, Knightsbridge, Pimlico, Notting Hill and Holland Park.  They are close to public transport, as well as historic landmarks, main shopping streets and London's beautiful parks.

Opt for Cozy Bed and Breakfasts which are Affordable Rather Than Crammed Unpersonal Hotels

What's more, the hosts, who are "empty-nester" business people, diplomats, interior decorators and even lords and ladies, provide that personal touch that hotels can't.  They can give insiders' advice on inexpensive neighborhood restaurants, free museums and concerts and all the minutiae that make for an enjoyable and affordable stay.
 
Singles, doubles and family rooms-for three or four-are available, and all cost far less than a room in a mediocre hotel.  For information and pictures of the host homes, visit Uptown Reservations' website, www.uptownres.co.uk. For availability and to make reservations, e-mail inquiries@uptownres.co.uk or call their American representative at 800-872-2632.
