Belgravia

There's nothing like a cheap B & B in the middle of a posh setting. Find one in Belgravia and you will have a taste of both worlds--a comfy place to settle in for the night, and in the morning you will have the finest snobby London has to offer.

Belgravia we've only read about from Evelyn Waugh's novels, but if you are expecting something of the old 1920s London glamour, I am happy to report that those are strictly of the bygone years. To be sure, Belgravia has recently enjoyed a real estate boom fuelled by private home developers harkening to the call of pre-war Belgravia of the palatial domed houses and the every noontime tea and macaroons.

The Belgravia--the B & B in question--is located just across the street of Victoria Coach station. Whether, however, the location is the real Belgravia we leave for the Belgravian cognoscenti. But the rates are affordable at 55 (UK) for a single and 62 (UK) for a double. Every guest can make tea or coffee in his room and are provided with appropriate facilities.
