Stay at the LSE and help celebrate Dickens’ 200th birthday

With single rooms starting from just £34 per night, cheap London accommodation at the LSE gives you the perfect opportunity to explore the capital. Saving money by staying in our comfortable and central locations will allow you to experience the best of what the city has to offer at a fraction of the normal price.

2012 sees the 200th anniversary of the birth of Charles Dickens, and there are several events taking place in London throughout the year to celebrate the life of the nation’s favourite author. A good number of these exhibitions and displays are either free or have tickets available at very reasonable prices, so why not come to the capital and take the chance to learn more about Dickens and his many memorable characters?

One of the more unusual events to mark this literary milestone is ‘A Hankering after Ghosts: Charles Dickens and the Supernatural’ at the British Library. Free to view and running until March 4th, this unique exhibition explores the writer’s fascination with the paranormal and how, through works like A Christmas Carol and Great Expectations, he related this to the evolving beliefs of his day.

The Museum of London’s landmark ‘Dickens and London’ presentation is open all the way up until June 10th and features a host of rare manuscripts and other artefacts. As well as being able to see amazing items like Dickens’ writing desk and the original copy of Bleak House, you will learn more about the author’s difficult early life and the extraordinary city in which he lived.

Whatever you are coming to London for, staying at the LSE would be a good choice. With stylish and great value accommodation available from London Bridge to Angel, we provide you with many great locations from which you can discover one of the most exciting cities in the world.
