If you want to stay in a traditional English setting then look no further than the very first St Christopher's Inn. This pub dates all the way back to the 1500s and this listed building even has some World War Two scars that add a pinch of spice to your trip.

At the hostel we have our very own bowling alley, the top bands in London performing live and a touch of true English class in our old-school pub. You can't get a Guinness pie just anywhere don't you know? The rooms available include 4, 6 and 8 bed, mixed dorms and a private twin room.
You're in a very central location when you stay at any of the St. Christopher's hostels around London Bridge. St Christopher's Inn is nestled between two other St Christopher's Inns on Borough High Street. It's easy to get to from both the London Bridge and the Borough Underground Stations, which link up to the Northern and Jubilee Lines.
Just over the road you will find Borough Market - a fruit and veggie paradise that has expanded to include organic foods, wild game burgers, crocodile and kangaroo meat, international cuisine and free samples everywhere you turn. It's also where several key scenes in Bridget Jones were filmed.
A short 5-minute walk will take you to the Thames River and a scenic Southbank walk. This takes you past the picturesque Tower Bridge, the stoic London Tower, the infamous Shakespeare's Globe Theatre and the weirdly wonderful Tate Modern Gallery. Also en route you will come across the National Film Theatre, the London Eye, the Salvador Dali Museum, the London Aquarium and finally Westminster Bridge. This short 45-minute stroll leaves you at the Parliament Buildings, Westminster Abbey and Big Ben.
If you don't want to do it all in one go you can always stop off at one of the many bars, pubs and restaurants. The variety is wide enough to suit any palate and budget. One of our favorite pit stops is Giraffe, not far from the London Eye.
There's so much to see and do in London and the odds are that you could spend an entire year here and still not tick everything off your to do list. But give it your best go and at the end of the day when you're absolutely exhausted, you'll be happy to come home to St. Christopher's.
