If you consider that in 2008 London was considered to be the fifth prices place in the world to stay for one night you got to ask why London is still so popular a place with the tourists. No mater how expensive it is London still has so very many historical places to visit. Any city with so much history will always be popular places to visit. Even the poorer classes of travelers will save up to visit there. The nice thing to know is you don’t have to stay in the pricier hotels in London if your are on a budget. You could even find a hostel to stay at if you are traveling on a very limited budget.
