Stay in a cheap London hotel before you jet off.A mighty travel hub, London has five international airports – so instead of getting up at the crack of dawn to catch your flight at diabolical ‘o’ clock why not stay in one of the cheap hotels in London near an airport. This makes sense for longer stays as well – public transport serving London airports is excellent. So instead of stressing about the whats and whys of where to stay in London, if you only have a few days and are flying in and out of one of the capital’s international airports why not save a few pounds and stay local in some of the airports’ cheap hotels in London. Heathrow Airport Hotels – When it comes to public transport, Heathrow sits at the end of the Piccadilly line and has its own express train that travels to Paddington in 15 minutes. Sometimes the most popular cheap hotels in London are the big chains, and this is certainly true of airport hotels. Jury’s Inn Heathrow has excellent links into the airport and central London and its 364 rooms are spacious, modern, comfortable and suitable for the whole family. Gatwick Airport Hotels – The Travelodge budget group is one of the fastest growing UK hotel chains. Gatwick Travelodge offers rooms from only ?29 per night (at the time of writing). The hotel provides family rooms, free tea and coffee making facilities and ensuite bathrooms. City Airport Hotels – London’s newest and most central airport is well served for accommodation and transport links. One might think that the high flying city airport would be short on cheap hotels in London, but thanks to the reliable, budget Travelodge London City Airport this is not true. Luton Airport Hotels – One of the UK’s fastest growing airports, Luton has direct transport links to Central London. The Express By Holiday Inn Luton is a part of a popular chain of Cheap Hotels in London and it offers up high quality, clean accommodation for all the family. Stansted Airport Hotels – Stansted is London’s third international gateway and one of the fastest growing airports in Europe. Located 40 miles to the north-east of Central London, Stansted enjoys good train and bus links into the city. As with other London airports, it is well equipped with quality places to stay, including Express by Holiday Inn Stansted, a great budget accommodation option.

Last summer, after writing a story for Wired magazine about people who fake their own deaths, journalist Evan Ratliff decided to vanish and invited the public to try to find him. While he attempted to stay hidden for 30 days, he was caught in 25, thanks in part to the digital breadcrumb trail he left behind. Join Peter Eleey, curator of The Talent Show, and Ratliff as they discuss data-mining, surveillance, and other ramifications of a culture awash in in information.
