Contiki Basement

INTRODUCING THE CONTIKI BASEMENT

00:00 / 00:00

London can sometimes feel like something of a daunting prospect. It’s big, it’s bustling, the London Underground goes in every direction, and at first, it’s a tough cookie to crack.

We get this, so for you, our exclusive travellers, we have the ultimate, ever so freakin’ stylish solution to all your fresh off the plane jitters – the Contiki Basement.

WHAT IS THE BASEMENT?

The Basement is a centrally located one stop shop for all your LDN needs. It’s where your trip starts, where your kick-start meeting is held, where you’ll meet up with like-minded travellers, and where you’ll get a jumpstart on what it feels like to travel the world, Contiki style.

Did we mention it’s also probably one of the coolest spaces in London, and we’ve got a video that proves it. MTV cribs ain’t got nothing on us...

SO, WHAT'S ON OFFER?
