The 2012 Olympic Games will be held in London from 27 July to 12 August. If you decide to visit the capital of Great Britain not on a voucher, then you will have to solve the problem with housing and visa processing yourself. There are several options for staying in the city during the Olympics. Choose from them the one that suits you best.
The ideal option is to stay with friends or family. So you can enjoy meeting with loved ones and save on housing costs. If you don't have English relatives, maybe your acquaintances will find friends in London. In this case, housing fees cannot be avoided, but the price will be significantly lower.
The most common way to stay in a foreign city is to rent a hotel room. You can choose an option and book a room via the Internet. On the official website of the hotel you will find a list of the hotel's services, its location in relation to the stadiums and the Olympic village, and the prices for accommodation in a specific period of time. Plus, you don't have to worry about food, as every hotel has a restaurant. But this method is also the most expensive. During the Olympics, the cost of hotel rooms increases 2-3 times.
If you value home comfort and would like to live like a real Briton, you can rent a private house, apartment or room. In Europe, this type of recruitment is very popular. Many residents of the city specially leave during the tourist season to travel or visit relatives. This is a good opportunity to earn additional income and protect yourself from the crowds of tourists, hustle and bustle and unrest. If a family or a large company is leaving, this option may be cheaper. You can find such housing through English real estate agencies or through special international sites for finding housing.
Living in a tent is the most cost-effective way to stay in London during the Olympics. The fact is that according to English law, each owner of a land plot has the right to set up a tent city on it for a period not exceeding 28 days a year. Hundreds of companies and individuals exercise this right every year. The cost of such a holiday will be approximately £ 10 per person per night. In such a place you will find a truly warm sports atmosphere, spaciousness and romance of a camping life. You can select a site on the website, the link to which is indicated at the bottom of the article.
