Youth Hostels in London

Though it is known as an expensive city, there are budget ways to get around the major city of London. Come see the Buckingham Palace, Big Ben, ride the Tube transportation line, and much more. London is a big city experience worth living. Since London is so big, it is easy to find a large variety of accommodations from cheap hotels, youth hostels, or even university dorms in the summer. You can even find your cheap hotel or youth hostel near the city center, either way, the public transportation is exceptional and you won’t have any problems getting around. Consider purchasing a TravelCard or Carnet pass, these can safe you a lot on your transportation depending on how long you stay. Interested in enjoying your evenings and nights cheaply? Purchase a weekly published “Time Out” pamphlet, this will tell you all the local events, prices, and venues from special events to what club is doing what that week--well worth the buy. Also consider starting your night early as clubs have no entrance fee early in the night-sounds a little boring but saving the 20 pounds is well worth waiting inside the hour before the party starts. If you are interested in seeing concerts or theatrical performances, head directly to the box office to see if discount tickets are available to the shows. Or go see the filming of your favorite BBC television show--those tend to be free. London is a great introduction to big city life, worth the experience. London hostels will offer you a nice range of simple and cheap accommodation. From a bed in a dorm to double and single private rooms sharing the bathroom and many hostels even have a few rooms with en-suite shower.
