A number of them include private terraces with wood floors, hammocks and stunning views of the city. Generator London was also recognised with the title of finalist in the Public spaces (midscale/economy) category after the deep refurbishment undertaken in 2014, that transformed the property in one of London’s best design-led hostels.
