Stumbling off the train after five hours, we make our way to International Students House where half our number have booked rooms (or beds in dorms) for the duration of the visit.
Immediately upon entering, those who've opted to stay with relatives on the outskirts of the city instantly regret their decision.
The hostel is warm and welcoming, buzzy and packed with students from all over the world. The price, the promise of a karaoke night on Thursdays, a £2 per pint bar, and its location—bang in the middle of town, less than 100 metres from both Regent's Park and Great Portland Street tube stations—make it perfect for our purposes.
Better still, Luke's single room turns out to be a four-bed dorm all to himself. Philip immediately moves out of his bunk in an 11-bed dorm (£11 per night) to move in with Luke. After dropping off our luggage, we're straight out into the fray.
p.s. this is what happens if you bring MASSIVE suitcases with you
