Royal Albert Hall May 4th 2009 (Page 7 of 10)

Does anybody know if Joe plans any more uk dates around that time?

Just a thought..If there are enough people involved, it might be smart to looking into renting a home/townhouse....I googled vacation rentals London England and saw the were lots of sites. I've had friends do this before and in the long run it was cheaper than a hotel. Cathy

Yeah Cathy's right , Hotels are quite expensive anywhere near and around Kensington area which covers RAH , and obviously the further you go out from central London the Cheaper , but there are some unsavoury boroughs further out , so unless your gonna stay in central London averaging around £100 a night ( thats $160 abouts) Renting is a better idea pricewise and you can get some good large apartments for value
A Site that i know friends have used in the past is   findaproperty.com it covers all London  , but you want Central London and Recommend The Leafy Smart Suburbs of Notting Hill , Kensington , South Kensington , Knightbridge , Westminster , And My 2 Favourites Because of Price and Large Townhouses .... Earls Court And Pimlico ..... This is an Excellent site as you can pick price over quantity of bedrooms or area
This will give you an idea of whats available , Happy Browsing @      findaproperty.com

I have used Hotwire.com for booking in the States with great success.  The catch is that you have pay at booking and you don't know what hotel you are staying at until you book. However, there is a star rating, 1 to 5 with 5 being the best and they give you a choice of what part of the city you want to book.  There is another website call http://www.betterbidding.com/ and you can generally find out what hotel is being recommended.  Typically I have saved over half of the regular online rate.  So if you want to stay in a hotel and know what part of town you want to stay, which is very important in London, then this might be an alternative choice for some.

We have our tickets booked (managed to get in the stalls) and have also booked for 3 nights in a hotel in Bayswater on my other half's advice.  We can't wait to see Joe again.  Saw him at Manchester Academy last Monday and left just wanting to go and see him again.  This was the third time this year and each time we go we take somebody new who are just as blown away by him as we are and always go back again.  Hopefully he will be playing somewhere near us when he comes over in May.  Thought we would get chatting on the site now and hopefully meet up with some of you when you come from all these far flung places.  We already have friends in America and Europe from going to the Rory Gallagher tribute festival in Ireland each year.

Managed to get two rooms for Sunday and Monday night in a Travel Lodge in Covent Garden for £59 per room, with parking at just £15 per 24 hours. Which seems pretty good value to me, not far from Soho, so is pretty central. Travel lodge are pretty basic but clean as they are part of a huge pub chain.
