The 150th birthday of the London Underground takes place on January 13th 2013 when the city will run a steam train around its famous tracks and Penguin Books will publish a book of short stories by famous authors, based on their favourite tube stops.
With rooms for solo travellers starting at around AUD/US$100 and doubles that cost far less than that for each of you, The Hotel de la Herse d’Or on the groovy Right Bank of Paris, very near the Left Bank and the Latin Quarter, is a chic, cheap option for your next trip.
