I'm looking for some backpacker accommodation in central London but I'm not too sure which area is better - safer, convenient etc.
Can anyone recommend either a good backpacker or an area to look into?
Cheers,

One other thing....when staying in backpackers, would u recommend double private rooms, female dorms, mixed dorms...has anyone found one to be better than the other or has anyone got any stories?
Regarding the room type, I find this really depends on the person. I don't mind staying in dorm rooms, but my wife would avoid it at all costs if she had a choice! For me as a guy there's no big difference staying in a mixed or male only dorm room, but a lot of girls would probably prefer female dorms only. Of course a private room can be nice every now and then too just to get a good nights sleep if you've been woken up by others one time too many
I've never stayed at either of the two following places but they are popular with those booking here:
Picadilly Hotel/Hostel and Astor Hostel
Hope that helps somewhat. There's a ton of accommodation in London!!!
Sam
St. Christophers is also very popular by the way
You will find a good link for hostels here
Well, EXACTLY the same accommodations are also listed right here on TP so why leave? (we work with the same booking partner as they do...)
