ABOUT GENERATOR LONDONGenerator London is a short stroll from Covent Garden, Regents Park and the British Museum. When crafting this hostel we redesigned this old police station to reflect the city\u2019s street life. Local reclaimed timber, exposed brickwork and hot-rolled black steel give the hostel an industrial feel. Bold graphics, vibrant patterns and famous British cultural icons combine to capture London\u2019s cosmopolitan vibe. Make sure you catch the classic red bus that\u2019s parked next to our bar\u2019s dance floor every night. Don\u2019t be late, London\u2019s calling.
