While many visitors to London are happy to stay in a standard hotel or bed and breakfast, here are some alternatives for those who would like something a little different.

Entry is by card key, and there are door handles inside, so you can leave whenever you like. The cells are in an old courthouse building, and communal areas have been kept true to their origins, with lounges and bars in old courtrooms. Clink78 Hostel offers private rooms and dormitory accommodation, as well as the cells.

If wizardry and all things Harry Potter are your style, a night at the Wizard Chambers in the Georgian House Hotel might suit you. Although not directly connected to the film franchise or to JK Rowling, the rooms have been lovingly created to make any aspiring wizard feel right at home. Gothic décor, four-poster beds and wizard-type cauldrons and potions abound. The hotel is ideal for those who want to join Harry Potter themed tours or take a look at platform 9¾ at Kings Cross Station while they are in London. Enchanted Chambers are also available for couples to enjoy a romantic spell in magical surroundings.

If none of the above appeals, glamping in a themed, hippy VW camper van might be for you. Andy and Fiona offer their lovingly refurbished vans, equipped with comfortable king-size beds and everything you need for a spot of mobile luxury. When picking out a gambling site that is the best for you, you have to clarify several questions concerned with specifics of gambling venues such as its reputation, sign-up conditions, payout percentage and, certainly, casino payment methods. You can choose from Little Miss Merlot, a French Bistro themed van, Little Miss Mojito, which is very green and even has artificial grass flooring, Little Miss Malibu, which is a fun beach bar on wheels, and Little Miss Margerita, an oasis of four-wheeled retro chic. There are five camping and caravanning sites within the M25, so you can move around and stay in a different place every night of your glamping trip, should you wish.
