The West End
The 15 guestrooms rooms at this popular, family-run Georgian-era B&B in Bloomsbury are basic but clean and cheerful (four are with shared bathroom): there's a small, pretty garden out back, and the prices are very attractive indeed. There’s also laundry service and good breakfasts for kicking off your London day. Location is highly central.
Room 2 on the ground level looks to the street and sleeps five.
