I'm going to be traveling to London in early December to attend the Ahmet Ergetun Tribute Concert, a.k.a. the Led Zeppelin reunion show. I've never been to London before, so I'm pretty excited. I think I'll stay a few extra days to see some of the sights. With that said, I have a few questions that I'm hoping someone here can help me with.
1) The concert is being held at the O2 arena. What part of London is that in? Would the nearby hotels be expensive?
2) Are there any parts of London where I do not want to be walking by myself at night?
3) I hear that hostels are the way to go if you want to keep expenses down. Where are the cheap, but safe hostels located?
4) How is the public transportation around there? I figure cabs will be expensive, but what about buses/subways?
5) I'm looking to time my stay so that I'm there over the weekend in order to hit up some of the nightlife. Are there any excellent pubs/clubs that you'd recommend?
