When I go to London, I invariably stay in one of the string of mini-hotels near Paddington Station. Tiny rooms, but complete with a bathroom if you pay extra, and giggly underage teens from Belgium next door having a much funner time than studying for exams. I paid $98 a night for a narrow but serviceable and clean room in 'The Shakespeare', a short walk from Paddington Station. There is a 24 hour Lebanese grocery across from St. Mary's hospital with internet cafe down the street, so you can eat baklava, drink Iron Bru, and surf the web late at night as suits your accustomed timezone. There is only a small microwave and a fridge in the room I stayed in, so that limits what you can reasonably cook in your room.
There are a bunch of other townhouses converted to hotels along the street, I imagine they're all going to be pretty similar to the one I stayed in.
