The Northumberland House is the student housing for the London School of Economics. As almost all the Universities here in London the student residences are open to the public in summer. The Northumberland House is open for all from the end of June to the end of September. There are 255 different rooms, a single room will cost you 42£ the night and a double room will cost you 64£. Each room has its own bathroom with a shower so you don't have to share. The rooms have lots of light, they are small but big enough to be c read more

If you're looking for a place to have a REAL traditional Fish and Chips then you have to try Rock and Sole Plaice.

The price of a fish and Chips starts off at 5.40£. The Rock and Sole Plaice is very close to the Cov read more

The Vibe Bar is another really cheap destination to go out in London. This bar is always full and the atmosphere is very casual and relaxed. There is a very good DJ mixing nice music and the place is well decorated. As for drinks they are cheaper than the usual London 5£ a pint, I highly recommend the cocktail Yellow Brick Lane which has vodka, mango and apple which will cost you 4 pounds instead of 8 pounds in many other places. For when the sun comes out there's a terrace where they install a barbecue. I still haven' read more

Rokit is THE Vintage shop by reference! The choice of jackets, shirts, t-shirts, jeans, leather, skirts... is simply huge and the prices are very low too. One little negative point would be the quality of the clothes you buy. But this is also the buyers' fault, he has to pay attention to what he buys. The key to buying the best quality for a bargain price is to stroll for a long time try on different items and be very very patient. If you weren’t lucky and didn’t find what you wanted don’t worry come back in a few read more

The Epicurean Lounge is not just one of those million pizzerias you've got in London it's a lot more special… First of all the epicurean Lounge is special by the quality and the originality of the food... for example, have you ever had a pizza with mango or with lobster? Or how about a pizza called "Kama Sutra"? If you're not a big fan of pizzas you can have a normal dish like a steak or a simple salad, ask for their daily dishes. The place is very cosy and the atmosphere is very nice. And over all if you rea read more

So you're in Kensington or Nottinghill (both definitely in the top 5 most expensive neighbourhoods in London) and you don't want to spend a fortune on a simple meal... where to go...? Why not try Kiasu? a nice Indonesian restaurant 3 minutes from Hyde park and just next to Bayswater underground Station. My favourite here is the fried rice served with chicken, prawns and a fried egg. Kiasu is the perfect place to get good quality food and especially a generous portion for a very reasonable price. Plus the staff is ver read more

London is full of different Pizza Express there's probably one every two blocks. It must be one of the biggest chains in London with Pret à Manger and Eat. When you come here you know exactly what you're going to get. You have a large choice of different pizzas they are really thin and they vary by size depending on which one you take. I took a pepperoni one and the pizza was extra thin and larger than the plate! Tip: Before going, check out their website they might have a downloadable coupon. Last time I went we had read more
