Located in the vibrant south of London, Safestay Elephant & Castle is a great hub for access to some of London’s most iconic landmarks. What was the Labour party’s old headquarters is now a stylish hostel! Nearby to the hostel guests find sumptuous food markets, walk along to Tower Bridge and catch great views of the city from the London Eye, before walking across to the Big Ben.

Safestay Elephant & Castle is the perfect spot to help navigate around some of London’s best landmarks. When our guests return home there's a super bar downstairs, a place to relax and meet other travellers over a drink or a pizza. For music lovers we host events from Rock Nights to meetups. We can also help you arrange tours and pre-book attractions during your stay. So what are you waiting for? Big Ben is counting down to your arrival.
