Affordable, social hostel steps from London's O2 Shepherd's Bush Empire

St Christopher's Inn Shepherd's Bush is a lively, budget-friendly hostel located just a 4-minute walk from Shepherd's Bush tube station and right across from bustling Shepherd's Bush Green. Set above the energetic Belushi’s Bar, it’s a social spot perfect for travelers looking to combine music, nightlife, and value. The hostel offers shared dorm-style rooms with communal bathrooms, plus a fun atmosphere built for meeting fellow music fans.

Why Concert-goers love it

Just a 5-minute walk from the legendary O2 Shepherd’s Bush Empire, this hostel is a top pick for gig-goers who want to be close to the action—and back in bed fast after the encore. Late-night 24-hour reception means you can roll in at any hour, while free Wi-Fi in public areas lets you stream your favorite artist’s setlist before the show. Plus, with 24-hour buses running to central London, getting back after a city-wide festival or late-night gig is easy and affordable.

Who this Hotel is great for

• Groups of friends who want a fun, social base near venues
• Solo travelers chasing a bucket-list performance
• Couples making a weekend of gigs and street food
• Fans looking for a quieter spot post-show (try the chill-out room!)
• Budget-conscious music lovers looking for value over frills

Food and Drink Options

Guests get 25% off food and drink at the on-site Belushi’s Bar, famous for its homemade burgers and drink deals. There’s also a continental breakfast served daily—ideal for those who didn’t make it to bed before sunrise. While there's no room service, the bar stays open late, and you're within walking distance of plenty of pubs, takeaways, and eateries around Westfield London.

Nightlife Options

Belushi’s downstairs is the heart of the action, offering live sports, drinks specials, and a buzzing crowd. Prefer something a bit more chill after a show? The chill-out room upstairs has a 52-inch plasma TV and table tennis. For more nightlife variety, head to nearby Notting Hill or hop on the tube to Soho—all easily reachable late into the night.

What People Say

Guest reviews frequently mention the superb location for gigs and transport, the friendly staff, and the hostel’s lively atmosphere. Many highlight the great value for money, especially with food and drink discounts. Travelers also appreciate the social vibe, ideal for meeting fellow music fans.

Areas for Improvement

Since it's located above a bar, noise levels can be high, especially on weekends—so bring earplugs if you're a light sleeper. Bathrooms are shared, which won’t suit everyone, and the rooms are basic but functional. This is a spot for fun and function, not luxury.

The Bottom Line

If you're heading to a show and want a social, budget-friendly base just steps from the venue, St Christopher’s Inn Shepherd’s Bush hits all the right notes.
