St Christopher’s
Ron Knowles opened his first off-licence in Battersea in 1958. His son Keith took over in 1982, built Belushi’s in Covent Garden, then had a thought that would change hostel accommodation across Europe. What if the people drinking downstairs could sleep upstairs too?
The St Christopher’s family spans nine European cities: Amsterdam, Barcelona, Berlin, Bruges, Edinburgh, London, Newquay, Paris and Vienna, with 3,308 beds across 17 properties. Every St Christopher’s hostel still has a real bar downstairs. The kind of bar worth going out for, without going anywhere at all.
A bed gets you a place to sleep. Ours comes with events in every hostel and four bar brands, from Belushi’s to traditional pubs, where locals drink alongside travellers. Your night out, your match screening and your new friends are all under the same roof.
