    So that's £37.5 a night? That is pretty good for London.

    I know that in the Victoria area where i work there are plenty of hotels which all charge about £50 a night for a room with a double bed. They charge for the room and not for the amount of people staying in it. You may wanna just do that instead. There's loads of hotels around Buckingham palace road, Eccleston square. Hugh street has about 4 hotels on it which charge £50 a night for a double bed room. It's also quite a nice area, and obviously it's right near to Victoria station which is a main hub, and tube connection point.

    The only thing with these hotels is that you probably couldn't book them online. You'll just need to turn up on the day and pay.

    I was going to stay in a Travel Inn or something, but now I'm just going for whatever is closest.

    The Travel Inn in Wembley, which is 0.5 miles from the arena I believe, is fully booked. I wanted to stay there but didn't book my room right away and when I wanted to do it yesterday it said no rooms available... :(

    alright chief?

    well the stansted express to liverpool street: 45mins

    liverpool street - baker st on tube 20mins

    baker st - wembley : 30mins maybe?

    you can get overland train from marylebone station - that takes just 9 mins but they only run every half hour...

    Thank you soooo much. My only problem is getting back, I need to get to the airport by 3 AM after the gig to fly to Dusseldorf. Not that will take some investigating. *sigh* This is not going to be as easy as I hoped :(:D

    The Stansted express to Liverpool Street takes about 30 minutes. A return ticket to come back the next day will cost you about £25. The train runs right from under Stansted airport. Then take the Metropolitan line train from Liverpool street to Wembley, which will take about 20 - 30 minutes. Simple.

    Probably not; unless you are travelling between midnight and five you should be alright.
  • I booked the Euro Wembley hotel, it's only 2 star but it's £90 for 2 nights & is by the Arena, so I'm happy!! The cheapness & closeness was most important to me

    Good call! At leat you'll have nothing to worry about when the band plays WAY over curfew to the point where the tube has stopped for the night. :)
