Welcome to Clink78

Clink78, the first of the Clink hostels in London to open is a fantastic backpacker hostel with amazing facilities.

What makes us exceptional?

Clink78 London England is the perfect place to experience the boldness of 21st century design combined with Victorian architecture. We restored a 200 year old courthouse, creating a stylish backpackers hostel, and we also set out to transform the traditional concept of youth hostels. Our building is classified as an English Heritage building due to its front entrance, reception, 2 original courtrooms and 7 original prison cells. We offer cheap, chic stylish accommodation with designer dorms with pod beds, private rooms and even authentic prison cells. Clink backpackers is proud to have amazing settings such as the TV lounge Courtroom (chill out where The Clash were on trial!) and Internet Courtroom (write your own story from the place that inspired Charles Dickens to create Oliver Twist!)

The essentials

As well as having a fantastic building, Clink78 also offers all the facilities you’d expect from a backpackers and more! Our hostel wouldn’t be a great hostel without a fun bar? Clinkbar is great value and the perfect place to meet people, hear fantastic music, play games and dance the night away! Plus, our self-catering kitchen is a great way to save money: cook cheaply and have more to spend in the bar!
