If you will stay for 5 nights then you might want to consider staying in central London obviously hotel rates would be much higher but if you don't mind staying in hostels then the generator hostel in Kings Cross is a great place to stay it's clean and safe and would be cheaper than your current booking.
It really depends on what you want to do and see between the shows.

What do you people do if there's a cancer diagnosis or a palm fall until June? Who many rumours lead to actual concerts in the rumoured town at that very date within the last 20 years?
Just cancel the hotel and get ready to start again.
What odean73 said! Whatever else it is - disappointing, inconvenient, annoying, with loss of time and money etc. - it's not normally a matter of life or death for most people if a show is cancelled or postponed. I've had Stones shows cancelled on me on the spot three or four times at least, a couple of them many thousands of miles away from my home, but hey, s**t happens to everyone. We all found something else to do on the night and we didn't die. As the saying goes, you pays your money and you takes your choice...

The other little trick at Twickenham rail station is to get the southbound train, get off at the next station and get the London bound train, avoiding the queues.Quote

All - looking for accommodation in London.
As a Londoner and a resident of Richmond, I'd like to make a suggestion.
Don't forget AIRBNB, there's lots of it around the Richmond/Kew/Twickenham area. If these shows at Twickenham DO materialise on 19th and 23rd June, then I suggest you look to stay in the precise area of Richmond/Kew. WHY ? Because (a) you are within spitting distance of the stadium, and more importantly (b) you haven't got the hassle of getting back to central London after the show(s). Sightseeing and doing stuff in central London is for daytime, and getting into London from Richmond/Kew is simplicity itself. Richmond station is served by three train lines: District (tube), Overground, and SW Trains (mainline into Waterloo). This is infinitely better than Twickenham station, which is SW Trains only. The last District from central London to Richmond is about 00:20 hrs, same for Overground, I think SW Trains from Waterloo around the same.
If anyone needs/wants more precise 'local' info, my email is not hidden ...........

I hope London O2 turns out to be true – I surely want indoor shows…

As usual, you normally can't find these kind of infos on the internet.

Keith may need his rain stick in June we have Wimbledon tennis championships and it always seems to rain.
Personally I would prefer outdoor shows unless of course they were to play the Royal Albert Hall.

Seems like the perfect time to visit England to me :-).
May I ask,
will Twickenham (see my positive projections here/ having good faith/ belief)
have general admission tickets up front,
or, praytell,
will there be a chair assigned in the front rows?

I really hope it's standing on the pitch,if it's seated then I will seriously consider not attending.
