Answer
Hello Narinder,

Yes, it is very expensive to visit London.  Hotels and food are expensive there.  A youth hostel is probably the least expensive place to stay.  For more information, here is a link:

Also, some universities have rooms for rent in London during university holidays.

Other places in England are less expensive than London. Traveling by coach (bus) may be the lowest cost.  Here are two links about bus travel:

There are youth hostels in English cities.  Another possibility is to contact the Tourist Information Centres in English towns.  The TICs have lists of rooms available.

I do not know anything about sponsorships.  If you can provide more information about this, I will try to help you.

Regards,

David Whtie
