surreybrowncap the place I was thinking of isn't on that site but it does look promising for affordable and central accommodation.

I have stayed at Safe Stay Holland Park several times. You can book some rooms just for your group (I stayed in a triple room with a double bed and a single bed with a friend once). Nice location in the middle of the park.

Yeah - I work quite close by Russell Square and I could not locate it either.
I think these monasteries /convents are excellent...
Might use them if I travel around this summer or whenever..
People may be put off by the religious aspect..
But they don't really insist on participation..
It is a good income for them.
A place where a single female traveller would feel safe perhaps...

I think this is why my former colleague stayed there. Thanks for sharing your research.

I stayed here a couple of weeks ago. Was easy enough to get into London and was clean and cheap.

I know it's not quirky/cool as such but it's a stone throw from Tower Bridge and the Tower of London - right on the Thames and St Katharine's Dock. You can get a family room in the Tower Bridge Guoman Hotel from £123 per night (DBL bed and sofa bed).

Plus St.Katharines Dock has a Clock Tower...!
And the Guoman Hotel, although not remotely cool, is the kind of giant concrete behemoth of a hotel I'd have enjoyed as a kid, presumably full of lobbies & lifts and endless corridors and vast faceless canteens to breakfast in.

Plus you have the river & lots of East End on your doorstep, and the District/ Circle line to get you into the centre.
