I just stay in the TH Travelodge and wear ear plugs. If work was meant to be fun it would be called play.

I have to put in a word for George IV Regency Pub Hotel. I stayed there for some time about 15 years ago (I came to the UK to work for Cisco) so I have no idea what it's like today, but it was great at the time, provided, of course, that "quirky, East End London, British, pub, lino, cheap" worked for you. It was dirt cheap, very cheerful, served fantastic Sunday pub roasts, had the smallest (but still "en suite") shower cubicles I've ever seen, and the in-room tea making facilities were a fine study of tea bag autolysis. Not forgetting the view from the window, of course, a fascinating example of exquisite British brickwork, in traditional red clay, only inches away. Yes, not your cup of tea for a polyester suit sales droid, but it had everything a modern plastic hotel doesn't have, and it was notably better than my temporary departing hang-out in Amsterdam, not least because there were no fleas. But, as I said, I have no idea what it's like today; it's probably full of Polish brickies, but then, they could well be the funniest, greatest guys you've ever hung out with. http://www.georgeivhotel.co.uk/ -- Per
