The area boasts some of the best budget friendly properties in the city
In facts, the area boasts some of the best cheap hotels in the city. Whether you want accommodation for one or rooms for the whole family, you’ll be spoiled for choice.

The London’s Bridge healthcare facilities are outstanding and the hospital has separate outpatient sites at various locations including the Shard and Broad Street, all of which are close to several cheap hotels and bed and breakfast establishments.
