London - April 2004 - Accomodations & General Questions

Have finally bit the bullet and decided that now (or rather April) is the
time for me to venture to London - which I've long desired to do.

Going to be there four nights and traveling solo. Am thinking most likely a
hostel. Have already got some friends canvassing other friends for
recommendations, but would like to do the same here. Am thinking the hostel
route both for cost and because although I don't plan to spend my whole time
there where I lay my head at night, when I am there the opportunity to
converse with other travelers would be nice (does that win a run-on sentence
award?). I'm going on 32, so I'm not looking to party all night but am not
dead either if that gives you any idea of the kind of place I'm interested
in. Suggestions greatly appreciated.

Also interested in the possibility of communicating with others who will be
traveling to London at the same time. Are there any good boards or methods
of finding such folks?

Thanks!

Mark

A few weeks ago I posted a list of London hostels with price ranges
and links to their websites on another forum:

There's also lots of hostel info on this site:

Some of the same ones I covered in my post are there, plus lots of
others. Have fun!
