Absolutely enjoyed my stay. The bathrooms were always clean and the beds were comfortable. I assumed it was a party hostel as its close to the pub but the guest will gladly inform you where the best parties are around.

I liked everything about the hostel. I felt safe in the female dorm. It was clean. The staff were friendly. They do hostel deals on drinks for people staying in the hostel. Located centrally.

The Flying Horse
A proper London pub thats been there since 1812
The Flying Horse pub on Wilson Street has been a neighbourhood local since 1812. The building is Grade II listed, four storeys of original Victorian architecture on the corner of Sun Street. Inside, it is a proper pub: real food, well-kept beer, and a room that fills up with a mix of guests and locals most evenings.

Experiences
Most evenings at The Flying Horse have something going on. Live sport plays on the screens throughout the week. Happy hour runs from 4pm to 7pm, Monday to Friday. And when the hostel events calendar has a bar crawl scheduled, you will cover more of London in one night than most visitors manage in a week.

Your questions
Travellers’ frequently asked questions
Everything you need to know before you arrive. From the neighbourhood and transport links to what you get when you book direct, the answers are here. If there is something we have not covered, the team at reception are on hand around the clock.
It is one of the better-located hostels in London for covering the city on foot and by tube. Liverpool Street station is five minutes away, giving you direct access to the Elizabeth line, Central line, and national rail services, including the Stansted Express. Shoreditch, Spitalfields Market, and Brick Lane are all within walking distance. The Tower of London, St Paul’s Cathedral, and the South Bank are under thirty minutes from the front door.
Social and genuine. The Flying Horse downstairs draws a mix of guests and locals most evenings, which means the atmosphere is not manufactured; it just happens. Pub quiz on Mondays, live sport throughout the week, and happy hour every day from 5pm to 8pm. The rooms are well-designed and quiet enough to sleep in. The balance between social and private is one of the things this property does well.
St Christopher’s Inn Liverpool Street has key card access throughout, secure lockers in every room, and 24-hour reception. The neighbourhood is central, well-lit, and busy enough at most hours that solo travellers consistently rate it as one of the more comfortable hostels in London for safety.
Check-in opens at 3pm. Check-out is by 11am. If you arrive early, luggage storage is available so you can leave your bags and get out into the city straight away. If you have a late departure, the same applies: store your bags and make the most of the day before you leave.
Booking direct through the St Christopher’s website gets you the best rate online, guaranteed. On top of that you get a free welcome drink on arrival, redeemable at The Flying Horse, and 25% off food throughout your stay. Free cancellation options are also available on direct bookings. You will not get these benefits through Hostelworld, Booking.com, or any other third-party site.
