I tend to go premier inn if I'm in London, although they can be pricier at weekends. Travelodge is generally a bit cheaper but I'd check trip advisor before you book, they can be quite hit and miss. Do check where they are in relation to where you're going as some of the ones that come up as 'london' can be quite far out.
I may be staying over on the sat, have friends I can stay with but they're a little far out. If I spot any particularly good deals I'll let you know.

Just remembered, it's the marathon that weekend, so hotels will be tricky...

Thats a nightmare, hotels will mainly be booked up, also travel in by road/bus/coach will be bonkers...

I love marathon weekend, but having worked next to the wheel for many years I can vouch it is a travel nightmare

I have a hotel room booked - but fares are proving to be very expensive - but still trying

A bit south of Glasgow - a tad far to walk....................

But I am working on it
