I did Priceline and got the "Thistle Westminster" for $165 plus tax and fees $202 seems to be a pretty nice hotel in a great location

Planning on seeing the changing of the guard?
I was in London for a couple days about 6 years ago and all I remember is being absolutely shocked at the cost of the restaurants.

Levi, you know what you need...you need to have a meeting with all the guys who are going on the trip with you, preferably on the front porch of wherever you are staying, and talk about absolutely nothing until 4 in the morning.

Just buy a good guidebook (such as lonely planet) and you'll have a better time for a whole lot less.
