Tube question
 
Hello,

I'm going to book my hotel in London-Barking area


Don't. It's a **** hole.

Why? What? When? How?

I always take the Etap Barking, 38 pound for single, 42 pound for double
room. The price was raised twice in the last two years, each time 5 pounds.
On my first stay, I had to pay like 26 pound for a night. Still, I cannot
find a better deal for a Hotel / B&B in London... If someone could provide
me with a better address, I'd be happy to test it next time!

Back to Etap/Formule 1 in Barking: Clean rooms, easy access to an all night
Tesco Store, distance to the Tube 15 minutes, to Busstop about 5 minutes.
Going to the Tube, you pass through the town center, to get breakfast or
whatever you need. Tube from Barking to the center is around 50 minutes,
which is a long time. I accepted the time since the price in the city is at
least double or triple (as I said: If you know a better place, please tell
me.) Depending on where you want to go it makes sense to get a Jubilee Train
at West Ham, since it is faster and has less stops.

Concerning the Ladies: I must be blind since I did not see one yet, although
I stayed in Barking Hotels like 6 times, for about 25 days added up.

So... Been there, done that... doing it again anytime without hesitation!
