Speak to the firm and see if they have any recommendations first of all. It maybe that they have given advice on this to other vacation scheme students.Typically, I find one of the cheapest options, especially for a short 1-2 week scheme is budget hotels like Travelodge/Premier Inn/Ibis/EasyHotels, especially if you look at places just outside of central London but on major train routes. Hotels (particularly Travelodges) near easily commutable stations like Clapham Junction, Walthamstow, Brent Cross, Finchley, Croydon, and City Airport tend to be cheaper (e.g. £40-80 per night) depending on dates. I understand it may still be a drain on finances to cover something like this, but this is why speaking to the firm might be worthwhile as they may provide additional support for those who don't live locally or who can't commute.
