Staying in London for week before tour
28 Feb 2008 Jackie said
I am going on the European Adventurer on May23, but I am going to be staying in London on my own for a week before the departure date. Right now I am looking for good hostels to stay at... does anyone have any advice on London Hostels? I've read reviews on so many that it's hard to tell the good ones from the bad. I would also be really appreciative on any advice on singles traveling London, I'm 18 years old and this is my first time traveling alone.
Thanks!
Jackie

Hey Jackie! I’m on the same tour as you!! Less than three months to go!
I’m arriving a few days early as well, I get to London early morning Tuesday 20th, then have the next few days before the tour.
I havent really made too may plans yet, but i thought i would probably stay at the contiki hotel (Grand National?) and hopefully meet some people and just chill out ahead of the trip!
If you want, feel free to email me at pmikronis@hotmail.com

Thanks for your replies!
Dale: I remember looking at that hostel, it looks pretty good. When are you going to be staying there?
Paul: I can’t wait for our tour! I will probably see you at the National the night before the trip! Have you started preparing for it yet?- 0 people like this

Hey Jackie! Yeah, cant wait! Just over two months to go now!!!
I havent really spend too much time getting ready for the contiki just yet, but i’m planning on staying on in london, and some more travel afterwards, so i’ve been busy getting my application together for a working holiday visa!
Thats nearly done now, so soon I will be able to concentrate on all the exciting stuff!
I’m travelling alone too, and havent been to Europe or London before so i’m pretty pumped up about it!
Just trying to get through the next couple of months at work….. hehe.
Anyway, catch up with you soon!- 0 people like this
