The Steam Engine’s relaxed vibe and small size make it a great spot to get away from the maddening London crowds! Our hostel rooms are clean and tidy with great facilities for weary travelers, including free linen, free wi-fi and free breakfast in the morning! Those who enjoy a drink will love the friendly atmosphere of our traditional London pub, where locals and visitors regularly mix; it’s a Best of British Backpackers experience!
The Steam Engine Pub is a friendly local legend, offering a great range of local and international beers and ales. The introduction of regular live music and karaoke has the bar buzzing every weekend and the friendly crowd welcomes all! Afternoons are best enjoyed with a frosty pint in the Steam Engine beer garden and BBQ area, playing pool or catching a game on Sky Sports.
Our Location near the vibrant pubs, buskers and bars of Southbank on the Thames also puts visitors within walking distance of the London Eye, Westminster and the Houses of Parliament.
