London's accommodation ranges from budget hostels in Zone 2 suburbs to iconic luxury hotels like The Savoy or Claridge's. For central stays, Marylebone, Southwark, and Shoreditch offer good value relative to Mayfair or Kensington. Book well in advance — London is expensive and in high demand.
Outside London, Edinburgh's Royal Mile hotels are convenient; the Highlands and Lake District have characterful B&Bs and country house hotels. UK-wide, bed-and-breakfast culture is strong — often the best way to experience local hospitality.
