Staying at the White Ferry was a great experience. I would definitely recommend it to anyone looking for a hostel in London. I was a bit worried beforehand about staying in a bedroom for 12 people but it was totally fine and everyone was very friendly and respectful, including the staff, who helped me as I had just injured my foot. There is no kitchen or common space upstairs but people meet in the pub downstairs which is open nonstop (I think) for the guests of the hostel. So I definitely recommend!
