Another advantage of this prime location is that we’re only a short walk away from some of London’s most famous tourist attractions, including the British Museum, Oxford Street and Soho. And if you’re planning to travel further into Europe, we’re also only a short walk from St Pancras International train station where you can catch the Eurostar to Paris and beyond.

Very close to the hostel is the world famous Camden Market, a selection of night clubs, and every Saturday the local shopping complex hosts a World Food Market.

If you plan to visit the attractions of London, save yourself time and money by purchasing your attraction tickets right from our reception. With up to 20% off gate prices on attractions like Madame Tussaud’s, Tower Of London, London Eye and the London Dungeon, you will enjoy them even more as almost all of them are FastTrack Tickets – Jumping you right to the head of the queue. That can save you up to 3 hours at every attraction. And if you’d prefer to visit the theatre, we can arrange the best tickets for you at great prices for any show in London.

Smart Russell Square is just behind Russell Square Tube Station (Piccadilly line). Just turn left out of the station, then 2nd left into Guildford Street; walk on Guildford Street 20m to number 71.
