The very long walk and the Lion King!
The 16th was Lori's and my last day in London and there was some things we hadn't done yet. Chris left for Nottingam on this day, so we said goodbye to him first. We chilled in Trafalgar Square for a bit and wrote on some postcards. Then, my sister is a huge theater buff and she really wanted me to find the Drury Lane theater, so we searched for that. We found it and then walked some more, back to St. Pauls and this time we went in. We climbed to the top for an amazing view of London. St Pauls was one of my favorite churches/cathedrals in Europe. Then we crossed the river and went to The Globe theater. We followed the 'tube this way' signs for a very long time until we got to the London Bridge station and took it back to Picadilly. We walked around for a long time that day and decided to reward ourselves with 'The Lion King' at the Lyceum Theater! It was sooo good, I loved it so much. We had awesome seats too.

First of all, the staff are soo rude, they were very unfriendly. Not a good way to start off. Its such a huge hostel that the atmosphere is really cold and unfriendly. The free breakfast was a piece of stale bread with jam. We stayed there 3 seperate times because of the location and the 2nd time the bread wasn't free anymore and the 3rd time we got a coupon for 2 free slices of bread. The internet was down pretty much the whole time we were there. The showers had cold water and terrible pressure. There was also big school groups when we were there, so a bunch of kids running around the halls. The ATM was also not working and the place was under construction.
But you seriously cannot beat the location, we only had to take the tube a couple times, to get the airport and Waterloo station.
I'd say stay here if location is the most important thing to you, but if cleanliness, fun, staff, breakfast, internet or basically anything else are important to you..don't stay here.
