Heathrow Lodge...near Heathrow Airport...
If you are looking for the drop-dead cheapest place to stay in London...consider the Heathrow Lodge... it's out near Heathrow.
It's quite nice enough... in a quaint neighborhood...with two historic old Pubs nearby.
The Lodge is close to terminal 5 on Old Bath Rd...take the 81 bus...or the free 423 bus from bus post # 5 at Terminal 5...and ask to be let off at the first stop - called "the square."
Your undergrond connection from the Lodge is literally in terminal 5....which you get back to on the free bus 423 in front of the Lodge... that returns back to terminal 5... Terminal 5 is actually the nicest terminal...and beats shabby Terminal 4 totally!
Ultra cheap rates at the Lodge... it's used by backpakers and airline personel...Very helpful and friendly staff...
There is a bit of plane noise to deal with in the evening and early morning...but the nights are usually plane free...
And of course you are a bit out of London...but an Underground day pass is available...if you can stand the long ride back to Healthrow every night.
