Enjoy The Glamour And History Of London For Just £19 With Travelodge

LONDON, February 10, 2012 /PRNewswire/ --

With the first school holiday of 2012 just days away, the whole family can enjoy the bright lights of the West End for just £19 a night this February half term.

For just half the cost of a family night out at the cinema, two adults and two children can stay in one of Travelodge's hotels in London. The incredibly low cost in the UK's most expensive city is made possible because Travelodge charges only for the room, and not for the number of people staying in it! This also means you have more money in your pocket to spend on one of the many must-see attractions London boasts.

Travelodge offers a wide selection of cheap hotels across the world-renowned capital with all mod cons included.  Each of its family rooms has a luxury king size bed, sofa bed, en-suite facilities and flat-screen TV with 18 free digital channels and with complementary tea and coffee-making facilities and Wi-Fi also included - you can be assured of the best possible start to your day of sightseeing and fun.

And to get you started on your capital family getaway, Travelodge has picked a couple of cool ideas for the best school holiday activities on offer in London this half term:
