Accommodation in London - Need help

Hey It's not often I post, but I'm looking to get some insight on the above subject. Basically, I am still awaiting on wether I get picked to be one of the 70,000 Games Makers for the Olympics this year in London and basically I have found out that I have to arrange my own accomodation and travel arrangements to London if I am selected. Getting to and from London from Liverpool isn't a problem, it's living there without blowing a hole in my budget since it's a big differance in terms of costs. Would you recommend homestays?, flatshares or hostels to save money and if so, how do i go about it without going to one of these agencies that intend on cashing in on the olympics and what areas near to the Olympic Park (or a 30 min commute) If anyone lives in London or near abouts, i would be most grateful if anyone could help me on this as I haven't got a clue where to start. ThanksHey

Rent early, and lock in the lower price. You'll drag out your costs over time, but still expensive to keep 2 homes.Rent early, and lock in the lower price. You'll drag out your costs over time, but still expensive to keep 2 homes.
