The easiest option is an Oyster Card or a contactless debit\/credit card, both of which charge you capped daily rates. Typical daily caps:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ol start=\"2\"><\/ol>\n\n\n\n<ul>\n<li>Zones 1-2 (central London): around \u00a38\u2013\u00a39 per day<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Zones 1-6: around \u00a315 per day<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>If you&#8217;re staying for several days, a 7-day Travelcard can be good value, especially if you\u2019re based outside the central zones. <\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img decoding=\"async\" loading=\"lazy\" width=\"1024\" height=\"683\" src=\"https:\/\/www.takewalks.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/03\/z_explorer_-vkvk6zSQyKs-unsplash-1024x683.jpg\" alt=\"A bright red and blue London Underground sign marks an entrance on a brick building under a clear blue sky in central London.\" class=\"wp-image-16055\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.takewalks.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/03\/z_explorer_-vkvk6zSQyKs-unsplash-1024x683.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/www.takewalks.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/03\/z_explorer_-vkvk6zSQyKs-unsplash-600x400.jpg 600w, https:\/\/www.takewalks.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/03\/z_explorer_-vkvk6zSQyKs-unsplash-768x512.jpg 768w, https:\/\/www.takewalks.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/03\/z_explorer_-vkvk6zSQyKs-unsplash.jpg 1200w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><figcaption class=\"wp-element-caption\">Keep an eye out for the London Underground signs.

Zones 2 and 3 often have much cheaper hotels. Many neighbourhoods like Camden, Hammersmith, Greenwich, or Shepherd\u2019s Bush offer quick transport links into the centre. Staying slightly outside Zone 1 can cut accommodation costs by 20-40%, without sacrificing convenience.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Are_London_hotels_small_compared_to_other_cities\"><\/span>Are London hotels small compared to other cities?<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>Yes, especially in the older, historic buildings. Standard rooms in central London can be surprisingly compact, even in upscale hotels. If space matters, look for newer builds, aparthotels, or properties in neighbourhoods just outside the centre where rooms tend to be larger for the price.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ol start=\"4\"><\/ol>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img decoding=\"async\" loading=\"lazy\" width=\"1024\" height=\"683\" src=\"https:\/\/www.takewalks.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/08\/Walks_London_VIP-Tower_0021-1024x683.jpg\" alt=\"A Beefeater in traditional uniform leads attentive tourists outside the Tower of London as evening light casts shadows on ancient stone walls.\" class=\"wp-image-22864\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.takewalks.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/08\/Walks_London_VIP-Tower_0021-1024x683.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/www.takewalks.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/08\/Walks_London_VIP-Tower_0021-600x400.jpg 600w, https:\/\/www.takewalks.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/08\/Walks_London_VIP-Tower_0021-768x512.jpg 768w, https:\/\/www.takewalks.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/08\/Walks_London_VIP-Tower_0021-1536x1024.jpg 1536w, https:\/\/www.takewalks.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/08\/Walks_London_VIP-Tower_0021.jpg 1920w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><figcaption class=\"wp-element-caption\">A Beefeater in traditional uniform leads attentive tourists outside the Tower of London.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>Once you&#8217;ve decided on accommodations, why not sign up for one of our <strong>London walking tours<\/strong>?
