Everything was arranged nicely. You get 2 meals a day. Both nice. Work schedule is super clear, which is really nice. For being here while doing something else, I completely recommend. If this is your way of meeting new people and getting new experiences, I would like to recommend looking elsewhere. While I was there, there was no communal vibes/activities/etc. Most people are staying long-term, which gives a different vibes than most hostels.
But as I have said before everything is pretty nice, the rooms are great, work is good and staff is always available for help.

I had a great time at Railton house and met the loveliest people along the way. The staff was always accommodating with any issue and really tried finding a solution that works for everyone. The times of work were respected, depending on what shift you get it can be more or less intense. The food was surprisingly tasty (especially if you like Indian/spicy food) and had vegetarian options as well. Unfortunately there was nothing provided for using the kitchen to cook for yourself.

It was my first volunteer experience, and it was a really great one. The tasks aren't difficult, the volunteer rooms are nice, and the schedules they give you are always followed! It's a great place if you want to explore London, meet people, and practice your English. Thanks, Railton, for my stay there!

I had a great time at LHA Railton. All the other volunteers were amazing and it was wonderful getting to know them.
You get your hours at the beginning of your stay and they stay the same throughout so you can plan days or accordingly. The food is good, although a little repetitive and as a volunteer if there are leftovers you can save some if you like. I worked in the kitchen which had its own sub-community which was really nice. There is a separate kitchen but you will need to buy your own pots, pans, cooking and eating utensils, etc. if you’d like to use it.
Thanks to all those at LHA.

It’s a great option to get to know London. 20 hours/week with 2 days off gives you plenty of time to explore and also the location makes everything more accessible. I met incredible people and i loved the roommates I shared bedroom with, we really connected. The reason why i wouldn’t give 5 starts is because they say they have equipped kitchen but you only have stove and fridge. If you want to cook, you’d have to buy everything needed to do so, including soap for example. As a vegetarian that made things a little bit difficult, considering i usually cook my own meals.
