Events
Staying at our hostel in Waterloo puts you right in the heart of some of London’s most exciting sights. Just around the corner you’ll find the vibrant Leake Street Arches, also known as the famous graffiti tunnel, an ever-changing urban gallery filled with street art, independent bars, and creative spaces beneath Waterloo Station. It’s a unique spot to explore day or night and one of the capital’s most distinctive creative hubs.
Right outside the hostel is the lively Lower Marsh Market, a historic street market running since the 1800s where you can grab street food from around the world, browse independent stalls, and soak up the local Waterloo atmosphere.
From there, you’re only minutes from some of London’s most iconic landmarks. Take a stroll along the South Bank to the world-famous London Eye for incredible views over the city, or cross the river to explore the historic area of Westminster, including the magnificent Westminster Abbey and the surrounding political and cultural landmarks. Together, these nearby spots make our hostel the perfect base for discovering London on foot.
