Inexpensive London Hotels: There are several country-wide chains of hotels, notably the British Transport group of some 50 good railways-run establishments; the Trust Houses (symbol T.H.), with headquarters at 81 Piccadilly, London, W.I, and the group belonging to People's Refreshment House Association, mercifully shortened to PRHA, with headquarters at 20 Victoria St., London, S.W.I.
For help in getting under cover after your arrival in London, you'll find a supplementary information office of the Travel Association in Australia House, on the Strand, and, in addition to this, the London Hotels Information Service, at 88 Brook St., W.I. For provincial hotels there is the so-called Hotel Booking Center, a private agency, at 5 Coventry St., London, near Piccadilly Circus.
Very inexpensive london hotels hotels are found in all Danish cities, a special feature of thrift being the so-called Mission Hotels. They are clean and well run and you may have a single room for $1 to $1.50, a double room for about $2, service included. They are a wonderful travel bargain, and smart students, whatever their religion or lack of it, use them right along. No alcoholic beverages are served, yet you should by no means confuse these pleasant Danish Mission Hotels with the frankly dismal "Temperance Hotels" of Britain. They're a wholly different breed.
Edinburgh in 6% hours. The Flying Scotsman, The Royal Scot and The Cornish Riviera Express are other well-known name trains.
Luxury lodging, in hotels of very superior quality, is not as general in Britain as in France, but of course there are hotels of world stature in London and elsewhere. Claridge's on Brook Street, is outstandingly exclusive and I imagine that sometimes Americans in relaxed holiday mood find it almost oppressively so. The Savoy, overlooking the Thames Embankment, is probably the most widely known of all London hotels and its restaurant is superb. Savoy service is a tradition of the city.
