Shepherd's Bush and London's West End have so much to see and do that it is hard to know where to start. Oxford Street and Regent Street are an absolute paradise for the shop-aholic. There is everything from the big name department stores to the independent retro designers. The West End is also home to the theatre district. Take a walk around and you will swear every other building you pass is a theatre, showing a musical or drama you have been dying to see. When you stay with St Christopher's in Shepherd's Bush you'll be absolutely overloaded with things to do.
In the hostel, you travellers will be treated to a fun packed chill-out room, equipped with a TV, pool table, table tennis, internet and a large VUE cinema. The Belushi's Bar is one of the most expansive in the chain and when you are exhausted by all that partying, in and around the hostel, you can crash in our rather comfortable beds. On offer, we have a twin room, a 4 bed female only dorm and mixed 4, 6 and 8 bed dorms.
Top music venue – the Shepherd's Bush Empire is within tripping distance of your bed. This intimate locale attracts all the big names and has seen the Sex Pistols, the Black Eyed Peas, the Stereophonics, Bob Dylan and Alanis Morrissette grace the stage. The London boroughs of Notting Hill, Hammersmith and Earl's Court are also nearby and can be easily explored on foot.
Do it all and more from you base at St Christopher's.
Important note:
Please be aware that you must show a photo I.D when you arrive. We only accept Passports or a Driving License…
