Well I did it for London I booked a lovely guest house in St Albans just 20min from London. I'm not a night person so it will be great for me. The price was incredibly reasonable as you would kind of expect if you go outside the city. If I could find a semi reasonable place at the airport it would take me on the Heathrow Express 15-20 min to get to Paddington Station so to me there is not much difference commuting wise
I love your bathroom story Fresh_horse it reminds me of the same situation in Wales. To use the sink you had to leave the door open. The shower I'm sure made for really tiny people was crammed next to the sink. I think the bathroom in a previous life was a small closet. Didn't really much care I was there only one night then on to Conwyn Wales.
Another question for the UK folks about trains. I am getting a BritRail pass but only for England. I am only making one excursion into Scotland to Edinburgh. Since I'm going from York to Edinburgh just before reaching Scotland is Berwick upon Tweed. Can I buy a ticket in York for the Berwick to Edinburgh leg of the trip or will I have to get off the train and buy one? It won't be a big deal if I have to there is another train in about an hour and I am not in any big rush.
Can't believe the time is so short before I leave.
good night
