Leading discount hotel specialist LateRooms.com has seen a threefold increase in London hotel bookings for late April 2011*, following the announcement of the date for the royal wedding of Prince William and Kate Middleton earlier this week.

Andrew Pumphrey, LateRooms.com Managing Director commented: “Such a massive surge in bookings for a date so far in advance is almost unheard of, and demonstrates the phenomenal public support and enthusiasm for the big day next year.”
