Leicester Square Cheap Hotels

Leicester Square Cheap Hotels
London is not a cheap city to visit, and Leicester Square is one of the more expensive areas of the city. The tourist district is known for its nightclubs, like the well-known Hippodrome, and a multitude of movie theaters, such as the massive Odeon on the east side of the square. Despite the glitz and glamor, cheap hotels can still be found -- you just need to know where to look.
