Useful tips... We employed many of the same strategies while planning our upcoming Australian adventure... Takes a bit more time but the savings can be substantial...

Pre Covid I have stayed a few times in an LSE room. Convenient locations, and fun to feel like a student again! Other Universities also offer accommodation during the holidays - I stayed in Durham Castle in a double student room - which was a great experience. https://www.lsevacations.co.uk/Home.aspx?gclid=Cj0KCQjw-fmZBhDtARIsAH6H8qiBDMw8YfVd661ZtAclhJqmjeS8EEkVyM1oZDdONBZneqouV2R1p5MaAn37EALw_wcB

You’re right about phoning hotels directly. My understanding is that they can’t advertise rates less than Booking dot com etc but they may well be happy to offer a discount verbally on the phone.
