  London is such a massive and expensive city that it is easy to feel overwhelmed by the sheer scale of hotels and prices. Small, cheap hotels help relieve guests of the stress. The London Underground system is incredibly efficient and whisks locals and tourists alike to various destinations from their homes and hotels. Some tourist attractions include St. Paul's Cathedral, the Tower of London, the National Gallery, the West End, Imperial War Museum and Buckingham Palace.
