Formerly a YHA hostel, this is probably one of the grandest hostels in London – part of it used to be a Jacobean mansion (!). This hostel also has a wonderful location, located actually inside one of the best parks in London, Holland Park. There are beds in mixed and female-only dormitories as well as private rooms with either private or shared bathrooms. Breakfast is on offer and there’s also a private garden and laundry facilities are available. Very popular with school groups from the continent, book early to secure accommodation.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

University Accommodation<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

“University accommodation? I don’t (want to) go to unversity when in London!”, you might exclaim! Fear not, you don’t have to do any studying – for a number of London’s universities rent out their rooms to travellers in the summer (i.e. when the regular students aren’t there!). There’s only one university situated in Kensington & Chelsea – Imperial College – and it rents out rooms in a number of its residences.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
