On July 1st, those adorable Princes Harry and William are marking what would have been their mom's 46th birthday (as well as the tenth anniversary of her death) with Concert for Diana, a gigantic event held at Wembley Stadium featuring somewhere around 23 performers. The lineup includes everyone from Andrew Lloyd Weber and Duran Duran (YES) to P. Diddy and Fergie (the Pea, not the duchess) and even Roger Hodgson of Supertramp. But where to stay?

London's Swinging Hotel Scene: Break Out Your Tennis Whites

This week we are focusing on the latest news and reviews on the London Hotel Scene. We'll be looking at budget hotels, Wimbledon hotels, The Concert for Diana hotels and more. So if you've got a London hotel story or query, then c'mon now--fill us in.

The Wimbledon Tournament has begun again and if you're a tennis fan looking to study the pro's precise volleys and high-speed serves, then you should have booked a hotel a long time ago.

Not only is Wimbledon a major sporting event which means hotels sell out fast, it's also located in the suburbs of London and the only options are small B&Bs or budget hotel chains. And these are the first to go.

There's also no easy way to get there. The nearest tube stop is the Southfields station and that's still a 15-minute walk from the stadium, so says the TripAdvisor Insider guide to Wimbledon.

Nevertheless, we'll sum up some hotel options for when you go next year.

London's Swinging Hotel Scene: A Third easyHotel Opens

This week we are focusing on the latest news and reviews on the London Hotel Scene. We'll be looking at budget hotels, Wimbledon hotels, The Concert for Diana hotels and more. So if you've got a London hotel story or query, then c'mon now--fill us in.

Following the success of London's first two easyHotel properties (the Victoria location was at 100% occupancy in its first week), the bare-bones, no-frills hotel chain has just opened a third London property at Earl's Court. For 35-ish dollars a night, you get a bed, linens, towels, a cruise-ship-style bathroom and a flatscreen TV-- remote control, a window and housekeeping services cost extra.

Relying entirely on web bookings to generate sales, the new hotel opening is part of an ambitious expansion plan to open up to 60 new hotels in prime city locations across the UK, Europe and the Middle East in the next three years.

Budget-conscious travelers, get excited--it seems cheapie hotels are set to take over the world.

They'd better be worth the wait. Yo! Sushi's capsule hotel spin-off Yotel has been flickering in and out of the headlines for years now but finally seem ready to open this weekend at London's Gatwick Airport. They want to become "the i-Pod of the hotel industry" which means we need something really pretty hip and on-the-money.
