Clink78 and Clink261 are our two central London hostels, both conveniently located in London Transport’s zone 1, and both within a few minutes walking distance of Kings Cross St Pancras train and tube station... among the closest hostels in London to Eurostar, with great transport links to London airports, the rest of Britain and Europe too.

If you’re looking for stylish London hostels, Clink’s distinctive youth hostels offer independent travellers and groups a fun, friendly, welcoming - and cheap - place to stay close to London’s main attractions.

Clink78 Hostel, London

Clink78 is our larger, busier hostel, sleeping over 500 people on 7 floors. It has an on-site late-licence bar and several spacious social areas, so it’s great fun, sociable and very lively, without being a total party hostel. Clink78 is set in a grand 19th Century courthouse, which has maintained many of the original features that make it a Listed Building, and been carefully renovated to mix in some of London’s coolest interior design, create a uniquely memorable hostel.

Clink261 Hostel, London

Clink261 is smaller and slightly quieter, more discreet yet just as stylish as Clink78. Social spaces like the self-catering kitchen, dining area and lounge are cosier and calmer, giving Clink261 the air of a boutique hostel with a bit of East London chic thrown in. The tight-knit group of staff members make Clink261 a friendly place to stay, with a welcoming family feel. Clink261 was our first hostel, so in many ways it’s still our baby.

Clink78 and Clink261 are only two minutes walk apart, and guests can make use of the facilities at both hostels.
