About St Christopher`s Village

Staying at any of the St. Christopher’s London Bridge hostels has you as central as you’d like to be. In between London Bridge and Borough underground stations, we’re easily reached by the Northern and Jubilee Lines. Across the street is the Borough Market, a fruit and veggie paradise that has expanded to include organic wares, wild game burgers, Australian crocodile and kangaroo meat, international cuisine and everywhere free samples.

A short 5-minute walk will have you at Thames River and the scenic Southbank walk, traipsing past the picturesque Tower Bridge, the stoic London Tower, the infamous Shakespeare’s Globe Theatre and the weirdly wonderful Tate Modern Gallery. Continue along on your journey and you’ll reach the National Film Theatre, the London Eye, the Salvador Dali Museum, the London Aquarium and finally Westminster Bridge. In a short 45-minute stroll you can reach the Parliament Buildings, the Westminster Abbey and Big Ben. London’s Southbank also has an assortment of pubs, bars and restaurants to suit any palate and budget.

There’s so much to see and do in London that you could spend an entire year here and still not fit it all in. But give it your best go and at the end of the day when you’re absolutely knackered you’ll be happy to come home to St. Christopher’s. With our comfy chill-out room, where you can catch up on your journaling or curl up for a good movie you can also destress with a dip in our rooftop hot tub or visit your neighbourhood Belushi’s for a pint to help get you in gear for a night on the dancefloor.

Things To Do

Southwark Attractions

London Dungeon: A thrill ride into London’s gory past. Walk the streets of Jack the Ripper’s London, and take your chances with the Black Plague. A mix of fun, fear, history and adventure as you take a journey into the past you’ll be plenty glad you lived through. Not for the faint of heart. [www.thedungeons.com]

Shakespeare’s Globe Theatre: A reconstruction of the 1599 open-air theatre where Shakespeare worked and for which he wrote many of his greatest plays. Today the theatre is a year round exhibition centre that brings the life and times of William Shakespeare into the present day. However, from May to October each year the theatre season starts up again with modern reproductions of Shakespeare’s favourites where the audience can sit in a gallery or stand informally as they would have done more than 400 years ago. [www.shakespeares-globe.org]

Tate Modern Museum: London’s museum of international modern art, the Tate Modern houses an impressive collection of modern and contemporary art from Fauvism on. Located in an abandoned power station on the River Thames in the heart of London, the exterior is nearly as interesting as what’s inside. But it can’t quite compare with important masterpieces from the likes of Picasso, Matisse, Dali and Warhol. Admission to the permanent collection is free. [www.tate.org.uk/modern]

River Thames: This is the world famous river that cuts through London, connecting South London with Westminster. The boardwalk along the south bank of the river provides a source of relaxation, exercise, entertainment, culture and wonder to Londoners and visitors alike. No trip to London is complete without a stroll along the river from London Bridge to the London Eye. [www.riverthames.co.uk]

Borough Markets: What was once a wholesale fruits and vegetables market the Borough Market has transformed itself into so much more. A tourist attraction and a fine food retailer here you will find vegan burgers and wheatgrass shots to wild game, cider, fine cheeses, olives, wines and so much more. It’s not just a market, this is an experience.
