Association For London Separately: Economy lodging in England is perfectly practical if the plumbing-conscious American will realize, at the outset, that rooms with private Bath are luxuries there, not standard equipment. Hotel lists are published by the Travel Association for London separately and for the whole United Kingdom. They are very clear and full, so you are well armed if you get them before starting your travels.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.
These places generally work out better than the commercial hotels, the private hotels and—dreariest of all—the temperance hotels, Those bent on "total thrift" will find that cycling is popular in Britain and that Youth Hostels are everywhere. The main British office of the Youth Hostel Association is at 21 Bedford St., London, W.C.I. The YMCA, with its "Holidays" office at 37 Bedford Square, London, W.C.I and the YWCA, with its similar office at 108 Baker St., London, W.I, have their own hostels and holiday centers but cooperate closely with the Association. You'll have lots of cheerful young company if you go it cheap, for the British are insatiable holiday seekers and lack of money rarely hinders them. |
