Why it matters: YHA is a long-standing registered charity, and staying at one of its hostels directly funds its work giving young people and families of limited means access to travel and the outdoors. YHA London Central is its modern flagship city hostel, offering budget dorm beds and affordable private en-suite rooms in an otherwise expensive part of town. It’s five minutes from Oxford Street with 24-hour access; private en-suite rooms book up fast, so reserve early.
