London Travel Books

Can you really experience the best of London in a single day? Probably not, but if you only have 24 hours or less in England's boom city, you can still see some of London's biggest attractions--without spending a ton of money. Below you'll find advice on how to use your morning, evening, or short overnight visit to Londontown to the best possible advantage.

The Astor Victoria Hostel: Inexpensive Accommodations in a Central London Location

For the traveler short on cash (or prudent enough to preserve his or her supply), hostels can provide a clean, inexpensive alternative to pricey London hotels. And for the traveler short on time and cash, location is everything: you can save yourself the time and expense of a commute if you choose a room close to – even within walking distance of – London’s biggest attractions.

The Astor Victoria Hostel on Belgrave Road fits the bill. Astor hostels often rank high on Hostel World, and from their Victoria location you can easily walk to major London mainstays like Westminster Abbey, the Houses of Parliament and Big Ben, the River Thames, the London Eye, St. James Park and Buckingham Palace. The hostel is also a short stroll away from the Victoria Coach Station, giving you access to the city-at-large through London’s vast network of buses and subways.
