No - but if you are staying in that area, check out the Scala House on Tottenham. My husband, niece and myself were there last winter and couldn't have had a better time. We had two bedrooms, a small kitchen, and the best -- a combo washer and dryer. It is very reasonable and although I wouldn't call it fancy -- the extra room was fabulous.

We stopped and had a beer there. It looks nice but we stayed at The Harlingford on Cartright Gardens about 2 block from this hotel and the price was 78.00 GBP inc full breakfast and ensuite bathroom but small shower. This location is great and we are staying there the next time we go. 4blocks from Tube lots of nice pubs and a few restaurants in the area.If you need the phone I can look it up for you. 139.00 GBP at the Forte Posthouse is close to 200.00 USD
