There's a (not great, but liveable short term) hotel near Tufnell Park 
which I stayed at whilst I was settling back down here which was ~£26 a 
night.  Thats breakfast included.  Obviously it's not the ritz but it 
works.  This was about 4 years ago though, prices may have changed.  I 
believe it was called the Queens hotel and a quick google finds

Other than that around Finsbury Park (where I live) there are some 
bedsit type places for around £70-£100 a week, though I'm not sure how 
they feel about short term stuff, have had no experience with them so I 
have no idea what they're like.
