Any ideas for a good B&B not too far from the center

Try the Bloomsbury Palace Hotel. Just remember that the places in London are going to be a bit more expensive than places further out.

That's a shame.

Yeah...the tariff can drop quite a bit as you move away from Central London and commuting back in for sightseeing is quite cheap.

This may be of some use to you:

Found a nice B&B yesterday on trivago, 97 pounds for two nights, single room, shared bathroom, free breakfast, 2miles from city centre.

Unfortunately I didn't have any money on my visa so I couldn't book and banks don't start work until monday.

Under a hundred quid for two nights with Breakfast is a good deal. Well done.
