London Hostels are a plenty. there are so many to choose from where do you exactly start?

well, we reckon right here at  Hostelbookers.com

this site rocks. we love this hostel booking engine more then any other out there. and here’s a few reasons why;

*they have up-to-the minute accommodation options

*the site hosts user reviews of each hostel; meaning you are getting a pretty good idea of what’s hot and what’s not.

* there are featured hostel listings, so you can see what hostel is the fav for the week and why. always handy when you have NO idea where to stay or why you should stay there.

some say finding a bed for the first few nights can be pretty much the biggest stress you’ll go through when moving to London. but it doesn’t have to be that way. just remember that there are always options, cheap London hostels, (maybe not what you want for the long-term, but there’s bound to be something that’ll make do while you’re sorting yourself out)

quick tips

• before leaving your home town (or wherever you’re travelling from) find and book accommodation (Google is your friend).
• make sure your initial place of rest is easy to get to and from (you’ll be using it as your base camp at first to find jobs, mates, fun and longer-term accom, sothe handier it is, the better).

types of temporary cheap London accommodation

• you could stay with a friend or rello already living London til you get settled (which is what’s known as dossing or couch surfing).
• or bed down in a cheap london hostel or hotel (like the two featured in Belle’s clip).

ahh, finding your very own London flat and sniffing out apartments for London! where to start? well, let’s just say that yes you will meet weirdos and smell smells of dubious origin. you may even get knocked back because of your nationality. but don’t let anything you run into get you down, you will get there.(consider it part of the true living in London experience.)

once you do find a London house to call your very own, you’ll have an absolute blast. we certainly did. wicked house parties, millions of mates sleeping on the floor. we watched crap English TV (and loved it!), cooked really bad food, and hung at our local for what seemed like 90% of the time!

plus we got to live with all sorts of people from right around the world, including Aussies (there’s no escape!), South Africans, Europeans, and of course, those lovely locals, the Brits.

where to live in London? that question is just as, if not, more important then how to get a job in London!

you want to make sure once you're in London, that the suburb you choose to live in can give you everything you expect and more.right?
shops, a local pub, Tube and bus access, a park for the summer, and some cafes, not too much to ask at all.

check out our London Suburbs video guide for a quick overview of a few suburbs you could live in and some maybe you shouldn't.

just a small disclaimer however; our London suburbs guide is totally our point of view, other people may or may not agree with what we say in the videos.  if you have any views on London suburbs to flock to or avoid we want to hear about it. review a london suburb here.
