• For something a little different Good Hotel is a cool choice. A social enterprise that originated in Amsterdam, it's now set up as a floating hotel in London's Victoria Docks. Rooms are industrial-chic plus there's a lively rooftop bar and Thames views. A chic city pad with an appealing price tag.

For a contemporary style

• For lots of amenities and stylish, chic decor, Richmond Harbour Hotel & Spa is a good value choice. The extensive spa complete with a large indoor pool is a real treat, plus the hotel's restaurant offers friendly, fast service and top-notch food. Take a stroll through the expansive Richmond Park which, complete with wild deer, feels very rural.

• Trendy and modern citizenM Bankside offers its brand of "luxury for less" on London's Southbank. Ideal for arty types, with iconic Vitra furniture throughout, modern art on display and a stone's throw from the Tate. Tablets in every room for mood control and a host of other goodies thrown in with the price.
• Another from the same chain, citizenM Tower of London boasts rooms with stunning city views, 24-hour food, and funky interiors that are perfect for hanging out! A good choice for both business and leisure travellers.
• Z Shoreditch is a sleek, modern hotel conveniently located a short walk from Old Street station. Compact rooms are smart and unfussy featuring all the mod-cons and well-designed bathrooms. What is lacking in space is made up in the price tag. A great option for young and budget travellers.

• A former textile factory, New Road Hotel is now a very modern city bolthole in East London. Interiors are industrial-chic plus it's the home of Marco Pierre White's signature restaurant, Chophouse. And with a range of open-plan public areas including a library and games room, you get a lot for your money here. 

For the location

• Within walking distance to the Tower of London, Brick Lane, Shoreditch and The City, Leman Locke offers spacious self-catered suites — the perfect answer for those looking for affordable yet desirable long-term stays in the heart of London. A vegan restaurant, cool cafe and wellness facilities make this a great choice.
• Another well-placed property is Z Hotels at Gloucester Place. A collection of five townhouses located in London's smart Marylebone area. Cleanly designed rooms feature large sash windows, parquet flooring, crisp white linen and contemporary bathrooms. Well positioned and very well priced.

• Local exploring is made easy from the fantastically located London Bridge Hotel. In a prime Southwark river location, it offers chic rooms, gym facilities and modern features, all at reasonable rates. With spacious two-bedroom apartments with fully-equipped kitchens, it's ideal for a family stay.

For a pub with rooms

• The Victoria Inn is located in the newly gentrified area of Peckham. Downstairs is a lively gastropub serving hearty British cuisine and a good range of ales. Upstairs there are 18 simple yet stylish bedrooms at very reasonable rates.
• The Tommyfield offers brand-new bedrooms set in a fashionable pub just 10 minutes from central London via tube. With an excellent pub menu and evening entertainment including stand-up comedy — this is an enticing property for those seeking London chic without a huge price tag.
• Situated opposite Kew Gardens, The Coach and Horses is a perfect hideaway from the hustle and bustle of central London. Botanical prints decorate the quaint rooms while cosy soft furnishings add a country inn feel. Gourmet food and local craft ales in the pub plus live music at the weekends make this a great value choice.
• Combining a superb pub with gorgeous upstairs accommodation, The Culpeper offers five elegant yet affordable rooms. There's also an excellent restaurant plus a great roof terrace to top off your stay. And many sights such as Trafalgar Square and Big Ben are just minutes away.

For a quiet locality

• Brook Green Hotel is set in a quiet, leafy and residential area of Hammersmith. This pub has recently been refurbished to include 17 simple, comfortable rooms upstairs, where you can stay without breaking the bank.

For a B&B

• Twenty Nevern Square is an Earls Court townhouse which has been cleverly converted into one of the best chic budget hotels in London. From the outside, it doesn't look as if it could have the 20 rooms it has — some of which are a fair size. The location feels too buzzy to contain a peaceful haven, but it does. It also has a great bar with a high ceiling and a big skylight. And breakfast is included in the very reasonable price!.
• The Windmill, Clapham has been modelled on old-fashioned coaching inns, and offers relaxed, homely service right on Clapham Common. Its sister pub, The Windmill on the Common, is a good place to drink and dine, and this is where your breakfast will be served.
