Hideeho!

Considering - in a brief but regular episode of madness - going to Crystal Palace vs Wigan Athletic in the cup next week.

Living in Liverpool, I won't be getting the last train home! Anybody got any suggestions as to where to head for in Central London whilst I wait for the first train next morning?

Warmth and coffee would be excellent advantages!

I would be very surprised if you could get one in central London for £12 now, £30 maybe and you need to book 14 or 21 days in advance to get a sale room.

Do not stay in Selhurst :P Just don't haha. I'm surprised the trains that stay there overnight in the depot have all the wheels on in the morning ;)

In all seriousness, a travelodge in London will sort you out. I myself would find a 24 hour McDonalds get a large amount of food and then walk up somewhere like Primrose hill and just chill :) I can walk round London for hours on end.

The 12 quid travelodge offers do not apply for London hotels it says in print, London from 40 quid it says

We have trains that stop there all night :) Just sleep on one of them!

A crazy sugestion, but what about an airport?
The last train to Birmingham International is at 11:30, or they run to Gatwick all night.
(Assuming you don't pay much for the rail tickets!)

Find a 24-hour gay sauna. £12 or so will get you a private room, TV lounge, bar, showers and hot tub. Just don't wander upstairs... :D

YHA St Pancras would be over £22 for a bed for the night (assuming over 18 ); St Paul's is £15. (and +£3 if not a member).
You could get your own room at the LSE Holborn for £30.

(Travelodges are silly money! £280 for Covent Garden, next to the LSE Holborn)

Tend to use YHA whenever I have needed to stay in London. This is usually around the works christmas do when I find the whole package of super off-peak rail or coach travel Sheffield to London, overnight stay and onward travel to Farnborough cheaper than trying to get there that morning.

St Paul's YHA - not the one I'd use for a good night's sleep as the cathedral clock tower chimes all through the night. Why can't it be silenced from 10pm while 7am?
