Clink 78 Backpackers

A stay at Clink78 hostel is one you are unlikely to forget. Besides being one of the most visually appealing hostels in London, Clink78 is also steeped in history. This must be one of the few places in the world you can kick back and relax in your own converted prison cell before paying a visit to a magistrate's courtroom, now an Internet and PC room, to chat with your mates online.

Choose from a great selection of rooms including a single bed prison cell (with a lock on the inside), a cosy private room, mixed dorm room and even a deluxe all girls' dorm room with hairdryers and free towels, situated in a quieter part of the hostel.

With prices starting from just £10 a night and clean comfortable rooms, this historic building houses what is easily one of the most unique hostels in London.
