So, where should you stay? - Here's some of our recs ⬇️

Budget Stay: Best Hostel

As a female traveler, I’ve stayed in countless hostels by myself across Europe, AND Wombat’s City Hostel in London truly stands out as one of the best. I had the pleasure of staying there a few years ago, and it left a lasting impression! It's super affordable for London as it's very difficult to find a place to stay for less than £100 a night.

Wombat's City Hostel London (from £22 a night)

Wombat’s isn’t just another hostel—it’s a vibrant, welcoming space that offers everything you could want from a home-away-from-home while exploring London.
