Christopher Inn Hostel

August 5th Thursday 2010

Well it is another Thursday and I am now staying at the St. Christopher’s Inn Hostel in Greenwich. I enjoy this area of London. This Greenwich area of London has a college town feel as there are many comfortable Pubs among a milieu of scholarship.  There are many Plays and people appearing to be youthful at heart here.

There is a sweet youthful non-judgment charm about the Greenwich area of London. Every one appears a bit laid- back, even the people who appear hurried do not actually seem to be that hurried. The Christopher Inn is also next to a pricier comfortable hotel within walking distance of the station as well, if one prefers to take some time off from the journey of hostel life during high season.

The St. Christopher Inn hostel gives discounts on the food you buy in their “Cheers styled décor” pub. I found it interesting that even though the St. Christopher pub sells their food at a reasonably low price, with the discount if you are guests there, in comparison to other areas of London, the prices get even lower as you walk further down the street and into the center of town. For instance at the St Christopher’s, the fish and chips are around seven pounds though you can buy two meals at another place closer to the center of town with exactly the same type of establishment décor as Christopher’s Inn down the street for only six pounds.

This Greenwich area has much lower prices with theaters and plays conveniently located close to the Inn. Everyone has an upbeat kindness. I have decided to go to the theater tomorrow night for ten pounds which is located here downstairs at the pub, in this Christopher Inn. So, this cool, hip area of Greenwich London is the actual location of the Christopher hostel that is actually an “Inn” that fortunately caters to be listed as a hostel as well.

 

St. Christopher’s Inn

While I was booking online to stay in this St. Christopher hostel another night, I realized that it said that this St Christopher Inn is a ‘party hostel’. I am not surprised because taverns and beer costing almost nothing appears to be the general theme of this area.

The environmental milieu is sort of artsy and cool relaxing, with the St. Christopher Inn hostel’s logo being, “Live Your Life”. You can eat out or in. I had some fish and chips and they were great! The Greenwich food is excellent, with the popular fish and chips being just perfect and costing half the price that you would pay in Central London. I could live in this Greenwich area for a longer period. If I return to London this is another area of London where I might consider starting my travel in relation to my future return to London.

Interestingly

London is arranged in a comfortable manner that is tourist friendly. There are so many nice hostels here in London. What is especially interesting and considerate to the tourists is that; usually every area of London has a small conveniently located quaint esthetically pleasing tourist office to help in arranging your traveling itinerary.
