Stayed there last year, It was ok, convenient but pricey.

Like most hotels near any exhibition halls, they have show rates to line their pockets.
You can do pretty well at Late Rooms with some good hotels at excellent rates... might be a tube/rail trip as well, but certainly good savings to be had over staying at the nearest hotel

I was there a month ago, good map of hotels within walking distance on the excel web site. nearest is seaborn yatcht expensive but lovely cabins & thames views. I bo0ked late & stayed at london city Etap hotel 49pounds ish, a very short drive to excel. you could walk but its over an expressway. parking not a problem. Etap ok but more basic than ibis, but well run.

sorry to dis agree with you tcm but I fail to see discussions on london hotels being boaty???. Im quite happy to contribute on most subjects including london hotels but was surprised to find it in the boating issues not the lounge.
Glad it got a response. Thats healthy

Cheap & Cheerful?
£17.20 a night at Youth Hostel Rotherhide?
With 320 beds, it’s a busy hostel popular with groups; breakfast is included in the overnight fee.
Close to public transport etc.
Sorry guys, prefer to save my Guiness tokens for Guiness rather than a bed........

it's about libs for gawd's sake. You don't get much more boaty than that
Surely you are winding peeps up?

hm. Well, as far as i understand it, the forum is for boating related subjects, so hotels for a boat show are boat related, are they not? Likewise, asking directions by road to portsmouth isn't actually about a boat, but again *relates* to boats. I suppose that also arguing or discussing whether an issue is or is not related to boating is also boaty, too, just about.
I spose a good test of a thread is "would this be even of the slightest interest to someone looking at a boaty forum for the first time?" and my examples (inlc the hotel for LIBS question) wd indeed be of interest to such a viewer. However, of the three examples I wd suggest that a comment about the irrelevance of another post is of the very least interest to a new viewer.
Whilst we're about it, it would be of very great interest to viewers of a boaty related site to know that there are loads of speed cameras on wide-open roads towards the show, too, such as along the A13 and North circular. And even that for those approaching the show from the West and coming along the embankment, there's a newish camera and a 20mph limit just after the blackfriars underpass. Also, for those coming on a sunday, money-grubbing cops are paid overtime to operate handheld speed cameras in sneaky places along the embankment as well. It's all of interest to boating types, you see. It doesn't to be about an actual boat.
Finally of course, the use of the word forum evokes the forum of roman times where those present were able to speak, a rare notion in the times of dictatorial rule and a complete contrast to other civilisations such as the Egyptians for example. Sine non quod plurabilis civitate urbis!
Anyway, altho like you i don't want the forums to be poluted by irelevant twaddle, i do want them to continue to be a "place for general meeting and discussion about boats and boating.
P.S. I completely made up the latin bit above to beef up that paragraph, by the way, and i don't think it means anything at all. Sorry about that.

to expand on the camera's after Balckfriars
They clock your speed at entry and exit and use average speed to do you!!!!!!
If you look closely there are twin camera's painted yellow.
YOU HAVE BEEN WARNED!!!!
But there are no permanent speed camera's if you go in past Uni of East England.....sorry cant remember name of road....it follows DLR and runs parallel to city airport.

You read it wrong. He said plurabilis not plurabilat so he knows your sister has not done it for years. Don't know where you got the Welsh thing from as other nationalities are known for it as well.
