Hoxton Hotel Rooms for £1 (But It's Fastest Finger First)

Where: 81 Great Eastern Street, London, United Kingdom, EC2A 3HU

There’s not much you can usually find in London for £1, unless your shopping list consists of a Big Ben magnet or a couple of postcards of the royals. Even Tube tickets have just gone up to £1.60 a pop.

Except, on Thursday, for a few minutes only, you can stick a hotel room onto that list, because the trendy-but-budget Hoxton Hotel is having another of its regular £1 sales. At noon London time (that’s 8am, EST), they’re putting up 500 rooms – which means nearly six a night, according to our calculations – between 1 February and 30 April for just £1, or $1.39 according to today’s exchange rate.

If you don’t nab one of those, there are 500 more for £29, and others for £59 and £79 – which still isn’t bad for Frette sheets, free WiFi and a breakfast bag from the owner’s trendy sandwich chain, Pret a Manger.

You’ll have to be quick though – last time round, all 1000 rooms sold out within 11 minutes, so make sure you’ve tanked up on coffee before you hit the mousepad.
