“Friendship House appeals to budget-conscious travelers who prioritize location and quiet, simple accommodations near London Bridge; the proximity to Borough Market and several transit options adds to its appeal. I think it is a practical choice for those who plan to spend most of their time exploring the city. It's basic, but the price is right.”
