Actually, I don't know how the Kings Cross Premier Inn attracts so
much business at that price, because the Euston Ibis (in no way
inferior to the Premier Inn, IMO) is only £109 and the St Pancras
Novotel is close by, and with a considerably higher level of
service and comfort is only £175.


There seems to be some premium for being anywhere near the centre of
London. A work colleague who sometimes arranges overnight accommodation
uses the Putney Bridge Premier Inn because it doesn't charge inner London
rates. I guess "Kew" is similar.
