Stay in a hostel on your London holiday at the Clink78

Posted on 15th March 2012 by

Once a courthouse, the Clink78 has had a complete makeover, turning prison cells into guest rooms, and courtrooms into social areas.

Situated in King’s Cross, this hostel is right in the heart of London, and therefore a perfect base for seeing all of the different tourist hotspots. Public transport is also nearby, which is brilliant if you want to widen your scope a little.

The game room is open to all of the Clink78’s guests, as are the internet and television lounges, all of which are perfect for socialising with your fellow visitors. Self-catering kitchens are also open to everyone, although you can grab yourself a delicious breakfast from the hostel’s staff as part of your accommodation fee.

The majority of the guests at the Clink78 are young adults, many with exciting and humorous stories of their travels. Exchange tales with each other over a few drinks in the hostel, or head out into the city centre to see London’s nightlife at its finest.
