Most popular artists will take part in this festival and there are still thousands tickets you can buy for a bargain, starting from £5.00.

  Hi all tennis lovers and those who simply like to be in a crowd! There are very few events so much desired for as Wimbledon Tennis tournament.

Have you ever tried it before? The best way is to go there in late afternoon, start meeting other fans and hang out there all night in order to get a cheap last minute tickets (they do them every day). Good if you have a tent, but don’t stress yourself out if you don’t have one. Book your bed in Clink261, leav eall your nags here,and head to Wimbledon just to have an amzing experience and memorable day/night.

As you have properly noticed we have changed the name from Ashlee House to Clink261.
And not just that… the Hostel has undergone a massive refurbishment during the last 6 weeks to make it to something extraordinary!

And well, it is! It turned out to be a very trendy and stylish place combined with some British features.
We have a lovely fireplace at the reception area where you can relax and unwind and exchange travel stories.
The new TV lounge looks stunning. You can just sit back and watch films on our new plasma TV or join us on our Movie nights which are always fun and a good opportunity to meet people from across the world.
