I stayed in the Holiday Inn Express, Oxford Road when I went to see Springsteen.

New, clean and free on my H I points

Within walking distance from Oxford Rd, train station

Nice and central too

Stay at my house not that we have any spare rooms, but the sofa or air bed is good enough. Would have to ask the parents though. And for the small fee of ...(insert price) you get a legendary pillion ride on either the drz or sv650

The Hilton is nice, good cocktail bar with good views.

If you're arriving at Piccadilly, the Malmaison is near, as is the Doubletree by Hilton.

Victoria & Albert, the Midland, or the Hilton all get my vote

Smithy, let me know when you are going. I've got to be there in a couple of weeks and I hate drinking on my own.
