Hostels in London - Prices and Reviews

We're in Wales and the hotel we're staying at is called The Hand Hotel. There's live music playing right now at 11:30pm, kids are in their rooms fast asleep. They had quite an adventure in Oxford visiting the University, Shakespere's birthplace, Ann Hathaway's place and few more places of interest. The weather was picture perfect in Oxford. We t...

Day 1: Landed at Heathrow Sunday afternoon, took the tube ("chube") to Golders Green, an old Jewish neighborhood in northern London where Lesley's Bubby Eva is from.  First meal: Schwarma and chips at Solly's take-away.  They use more cinnamon and cumin in their shwarma here and let you select from over 20 condiments and salads to put IN your sa...

Well - all the packing is done, thanks to the flooring work done on the loft by a good friend, all stuff is in storage and I'm heading out of the UK. Somehow, when I came up with the idea of this trip, I didn't think about all the 'stuff' that needed to be done first - so here is hoping that it is all covered! As always, there have been a few la...

Hey all- Day three in London, and I think I've got the hang of this place. I've beaten jet lag, I've figured out the tube, and I've learned how to successfully predict the weather (it's going to rain). Yesterday I went to the Imperial War Museum, which was pretty cool if you're a nerd. And I am. They had this really cool exhibit about World War ...

I went into this trip knowing we would face some adversity at some point...I'm just glad we got it out of the way in the beginning. London is actually fabulous, I love it, even though we've only been here 2 nights and a day. As I left this last, we were headed on our way to Dublin airport where we going to collect our bags that had finally made ...

Day One: March 24th We left the U.S. at 9:30pm to head for our destination, London, United Kingdom. We had the idea that we would sleep the entire way over... didn't happen. Let's just say the seats we had were not the best. Being the greatest boyfriend in the world I let Karen have the aisle seat and took the inside seat next to a rather large ...

July 15 After a two hour drive to the north coast of France, we arrived in Calais, the port town where most of the ferries between France and England dock. We were warned that the Customs officers may be a little thorough and harsh only 8 days after the London bombings, but they were quite cordial and we were not held up. Arriving in Calais at a...

Had a christmas dinner (couple of days early) aboard a dinner boat on the Thames river. Saw the Opera and rode the London Eye.

Arriving back in London to live. Staying weeks on poor Kats couch, to find an apartment just down the road from her! Visiting every tourist attraction in London thats free (theres lots)

We got in safely last night around 2am after an hour train ride out of Heathrow and a slightly scary hour and a half walk around the city looking for the hostel. We were the last ones in for the night and the halls were so narrow we couldn't even turn around w/ opur backpacks on. We'd have to reverse to the place where we came in and do a three ...
