Danny Posted October 21, 2008 Share Posted October 21, 2008 Hi Régine,here is a good place. Youth hostel in (quite) central London in a very nice locationhttp://www.yha.org.uk/find-accommodation/london/hostels/london-holland-park/index.aspxI stayed there a long time ago when I was a youth! Its probably a good idea to call them up if you would like to make a booking - 37 is a large number but they must be used to groups travelling.I would imagine that it is best to call the airlines. Don't forget the cost of getting in to town from the airport 25 - 30 GB£ each person.You could consider the train. If you can get a good price and it is convenient it will take you right in to central London - St Pancras. One underground journey from there to Holland Park - High St Kensington Station. Sorry to plan your whole trip but I lived in London quite some time!Danny Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pierre ZFP Posted October 21, 2008 Share Posted October 21, 2008 The Holland Park Youth Hostel is a great idea.As for travel, do National Coaches have a stop near you? They can take you via Dover right to Victoria then it is just a short Underground trip to Holland Park.National Coaches can be very cheap but it will probably take you all day to travel.www.nationalexpress.com Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Frenchie Posted October 21, 2008 Author Share Posted October 21, 2008 Oh great ideas from you all !!I will try and find a site for Holland Park Youth hostel, and consider the train or national coaches, I think there's one leaving Poitiers, which is easily accessible from where I am .Most of those students have never been to England, and they re so excited about the idea !Merci beaucoup à vous tous!!!Best regards, Régine . PS I'll keep you informed . Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Called in one day to get prices, but didn't succeed, but is probably on the yha site. Might be a good back up. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There is also a YHA at St Pancras, but again, I don't know whether that does groups. (Never needed to know that information as I lived there!!).
