How to Find Cheap Hostels in London England

London is one of the most exciting countries in the world but also one of the most expensive. However, if you are on a tight budget and want to stay in central London it might not be as expensive as you think. Staying at one of the many hostels in London England can work out much cheaper than staying in a 3 star hotel and can often be a great way to make new friends from all over the world. Most of the modern hostels offer a variety of accommodation ranging from singles, doubles, triples and dormitories. The kitchens and bathrooms are usually communal but some do have private bathrooms which you pay extra for.

Location of Hostel
The location of the hostel is also very important so take some time to decide exactly where you want to stay in London. Traveling in London can work out very expensive so try to find a hostel close to the train or underground station you arrive at in London. If you have to use local transport then be sure to invest in an Oyster Card which will save you 50% of the cost of travel on London transport and can be bought online. There are many cheap London hostels in the center of town in great locations such as Piccadilly and Bloomsbury which is home to the British Museum and within walking distance of Covent Garden. This is one of the most exciting areas in London full of shops, restaurants and theatres. Piccadilly is one of the most famous and popular areas to stay in London and both these areas are on the Piccadilly line which is the line you take when coming from Heathrow Airport.

Inexpensive London Hostel
One of the most popular places to stay in Bloomsbury is the Generator hostel which is just off Tavistock Square close to Russell Square. This leafy central London location is where many of the top universities and hotels are located and also close to the shops of Oxford Street. With over 800 beds this is the perfect place to have fun and make new friends. The famous Generator Bar is open from 6pm-2am and staff are on hand 24 hours a day. As the hostel is very popular be sure to book well in advance.

Piccadilly Backpackers Hostel is a 700 bed hostel just minutes from the popular tourist attractions of London. Leicester Square is a few yards away and close by are the exciting areas of Soho, Regent Street and Oxford Street. The newly refurbished Piccadilly Backpackers Hostel caters for the budget traveler who wants to be in the center of things. There are many more inexpensive hostels in London such as Ashlee House (now the Clink Hostel) in Grays Inn Road which is also close to Bloomsbury, Covent Garden, Piccadilly Circus and Leicester Square.
Another popular hostel often rated as one of the top hostels in London is Palmers Lodge which is housed in an elegant Victorian building in Swiss Cottage. Although not in the center of London it has a wide selection of accommodation ranging from private rooms to a 28-bed dorm which is great for those on a tight budget. Facilities include free Internet and WiFi and continental breakfast is included in the price.
