London is an amazing city with many wonderful characteristics, but being cheap ain’t one of them. So if you’re thinking of spending a few nights in the Big Smoke, you should definitely give Airbnb a look – chances are it’ll be a damn sight cheaper than a hotel or B&B, especially if you’re going with a big group.
