Kensal Green

From the airport we took the tube to Kensal Green, Brent in the North West. We were booked into Hostel 639 for a week, sharing a 6 bedroom dormitory with strangers. At first we were a bit shocked at what we got ourselves into, but we soon got used to it and it turned out to be great fun, smelly rooms and all. And really cheap, which was the most important part. We met some great people (Hi Robbie!) and it was the perfect centre for our first week as backpackers in London, with a tube station and bus stop right across the road, Notting Hill to the south and a few pubs and restaurants within walking distance. Apart from lack of privacy, it was a great carefree week of exploration and adjustment.
