Sunday night is the cheapest night to stay at most hotels in London.
If the hotel is in a business district then the cheapest rates will be at the weekend, for hotel districts dominated by leisure travellers the weekends are normally the most expensive time to stay. The south side of the river and Tower Bridge areas are examples of districts where hotel rates are deep discounted at the weekend when the businessmen are at home.

In the independent sector the largest numbers of mid-range independent hotels are found in the hotel districts of Kensington around Earls Court and Gloucester Road, Bayswater, Paddington, Victoria and Euston. Of these Bayswater, Paddington and Victoria are normally more expensive at the weekend, Euston less expensive.
Kensington room rates are comparatively stable with a slight softness at the weekend, though this can all change if there is a large exhibition or event on in town. Kensington is particularly convenient for those using London's main airport, Heathrow.
