Hi, I plan to make a trip to London, England on July 10th and I was wondering how would I get a place to stay for five days? I heard that if your just visiting, taking a tour that you could live with a family for a price? If not I want to know if what is the cheapest hotel? Thank you.

Cheap is relative. London is the most expensive city in the world. What would be cheap for you?

I guess you are asking about a program like Servas where you'd pay a membership fee to be matched with a host family.
Other cheap options: couchsurfing.com, hostels, university dorm rooms rented to tourists in the summer.

You could try Priceline, after researching on www.biddingfortravel.com.
After researching all options, I stayed at Hilton Olympia for $80.00 per night including fees. It's not back door but the price was better that at a b&b and offered a little more comfort.
