The Orient Espresso provides great beds, great food and great coffee. Our hostel gives you a friendly, clean and safe environment and is central to everything you might want to see in London.

WE NOW HAVE A BRAND NEW MASSIVE CHILL OUT ROOM 3 minutes down the street at St. Christopher's Village, with Big Screen TV, play station, relaxing couches and beanbags. We also have a Free tour of central London each Friday afternoon.

The hostel allows guests a more relaxing and intimate experience with smaller rooms situated above the Orient Espresso Coffee shop and Internet Caf? (where all guests receive a 10% discount). Suitable for school parties, educational groups or touring sports teams, this is a premise that can cater for up to 36 people. The Orient is located just down the street from our main location, St. Christophers Village, whose facilities you are entitled to access. These include use of the Roof Top Hot Tub, laundry facilities, Belushi's bar and St. Christopher''s Inn (for those who are old enough to drink!), the entertainment on site and the 24-hour reception desk.

Staying at the Orient Espresso means a great nights stay in the heart of the city of London and puts you close to everything a tourist, backpacker or group could want from London.

Situated near the London underground (London Bridge Tube Station), mainline train networks (London Bridge Rail Station) and 24 hour bus routes, it is the perfect base to explore Englands capital city and beyond, with ease. Or you can simply take a short walk and explore the South Bank on foot. Visit Tower Bridge and the Tower of London or St. Paul's Cathedral, see Tate Modern Gallery, the London Dungeon, Big Ben and the Parliament Buildings, the historic Borough Market, and the streets used in the newest Harry Potter movie, or just walk along the Thames River only a few minutes away.

A stay at the Orient Espresso offers travellers quality accommodation (free continental breakfast, multiple washrooms and showers on each floor and fresh bedding provided free of charge - nb. towels are not provided), top in-house entertainment (BBQs, karaoke and DJs), security (electronic swipe card access, CCTV, in room lockers and 24 hour reception) and comfort at unbelievably low rates.

What Would a Great Hostel Be Without Great Reviews?

?With the management organising a different entertainment every night (karaoke, sight seeing walks, barbecues, movies and late licensed night club) and two sister establishments up the road (one pub, one internet cafe) all offering discounts on food and drink, hostellers have a ready-made social life within 100 yards.?
