I'll just add 1 more to Jills list :-)

Try Regents Palace Hotel at Picadilly circus (book from pretty much anywhere
online), it's a very average hotel, but it has a hell of a lot of
rooms(2500), and they usually do singles for 45 a night, which considering
where it is is fantastic, not so good though for double rooms.  I've stayed
there a few times on Hawktrips.  It's almost accross the road from Tower
Records on Picadilly Circus.  Not too far to walk up to the Astoria, or 1 or
2 tube stops.  You might get away with sneaking extra into the rooms as it's
a pretty large place ;-)

Just sad we can't make it this year :-(

In case anyone is interested:
I went to the following web page http://www.hotels-london.co.uk/
and searched for a single room for the night of 21 December.   I don't
know what you want to spend but the following were listed

Best Western Mostyn Hotel (Marble Arch - reasonably close - very posh
looking! £55 single £60 double)
Best Western Phoenix Hotel (Bayswater, Westminster - quite close £35
single £42 twin - excellent value)
Blakemore Hotel (Bayswater - quite close £32 single £45 twin - looks ok)
Blandford Hotel (Baker Street - fairly close £40 single £55 twin)
Norfolk Towers Hotel (Paddington £30 single £40 twin)
10 Manchester Street (near Baker St. and Oxford Street at £60 single
£70 double)
Caesar Hotel (maybe too far away - the other side of Hyde Park) at £49
single and £64 twin - which seems very reasonable)
Abcone Hotel (South Kensington - some way out but not too bad £55 single
£80 double)
Best Western Delmere Hotel (Paddington £50 single £70 double)

And there are plenty of others if you look down and many of them have
very
good rates for London.   The best value of the above look like Best
Western Phoenix Hotel, Blakemore Hotel and Norfolk Towers.     However -
(1) the prices are room only - breakfast will be extra.   (2) you will
have to book on line for the cheap rates.    But it looks as if there is
plenty available.

Good luck
