:Hi Merick
:
:Thanks for your message.  That was a kind offer and I'll enclose the
:list of Thistle Hotels I found on Yell.com       I've only had a
:chance to phone Kensington Park and Bloomsbury but I don't honestly
:think the Thistle Hotels are going to be what's needed.
:Bloomsbury could only offer me single rooms at
:£ 106 (pounds) for the night and doubles at, I think, (since I've
:forgotten to bring the info with me!) at £129 (pounds).    These
:prices are way too high for most fans and I'm fairly sure prices for
:the other Thistle group hotels will be equally steep so I'm afraid
:that cheaper priced hotels will be needed and that'll take further
:investigation.     I'll see what I can find out but I really don't
:have much time to spare for a long search.

:The good news is that neither place seemed to think that a block
:booking of 25 rooms or so would be a problem so there seems to be
:plenty of availability for that date.

A bit more web legwork (for Jill, or anyone else who wants to call
places):

holiday inn has locations at oxford circus and bloomsbury with doubles for
95 pounds a night.

I've put an inquiry into the comfort inn chain to see what they can
get us.

More web hunting:

http://www.hotels-london.co.uk/budgethotels/bayswater/index.html (doubles
for 69 pounds and have meeting space available (may be a high season/low
season thing, tho'))

http://www.hotels-london.co.uk/budgethotels/royalnational/index.html
(doubles for 85 pounds and has meeting space.)

more hotels seem to be listed at www.hotelsoflondon.co.uk, but I've
really got to get home now....
