Travelodges are famous for budget friendly hotel accommodation and have always offered notable locations (convenient to bus and rail roots). The one at Stratford also is close to rail links. Cross rail means many people can come and stay here. While then, My friend- who is working with Magnum Marketing, opinioned that, "as Olympics are at hand, the new hotel gets advantaged, although it is a short-term event."

As I evaluated the year 2011, came across some of major events that drew the world's eye to the city of London. But as I looked at 2012, what await the city is even more exciting as it was in the gone year. The city of London has entered into a bumper year of sporting, cultural and royal events with the line-up of the London2012 Olympic and Paralympics Games and the Diamond Jubilee, there's something more a domestic tourist can expect in this year. As I was going on enlisting major events on the array, my friend who worked for TC World Ltd, asked, whether he can expect something good for his direct marketing job? I said, "Yes you can." London offers the best choice for DMA members to attend a conference on Direct Marketing (on February 27th, 2012 at Plaisterers' Hall, 1 London Wall) which will address the current state of Direct Marketing and fundraising in the UK and discuss the strategies that work in a tough environment.

And, with so many free things to see and do in London you will be totally spoilt for choice, whatever the weather."
London is a costly city for the ordinary. It makes visitors worry. But, the city has got many free attractions. I have had a business visit to the great city of London by the end of last year.
