i'm going to london in october. we bought our tickets through american airlines from LAX to heathrow, nonstop for 557 for the ticket, and then 100 something bucks in taxes. (sadness i know). that was the cheapest airfare we could find outside of bidding on it. travel agencies were no help.

 

as for the hotel, we are staying in a hostel in london near soho. we couldn't find a good cheap hotel and we're still young enough for hostels.

 

and london is NOT cheap. it's nearly 2 american dollars to 1 pound. i'm putting myself on a strict budget when i'm there, because attractions are going to be expensive, and there are some things i HAVE to do when i get there (like have high tea.)

 

and we have to pay the stupid airport fees when we leave also arghhhhhhhh but we're leaving from paris.

when we went we tok the train al over but when it came time to leave to come back home nobody told us during the week the train prices go way up during peak times i think it was between 9 am and in the afternoon at some time.we had to be on that train at 9 am to catch our flight so that was a bummer.we stayed in croydon which was a very nice town.the 2nd time we stayed in bedford which was kind of pricey. we went on virgin atlantic.
