Quiet hostel in London near the BM?

I will be in London in early May, I intend to spend a lot of time at the British Museum and so would like to be in a hostel near there or else near a tube station convenient to there. This is a strictly educational trip so I am looking for a place where I can sleep the easiest, not meet people and party. Any recommendations appreciated.

I have stayed at the YHA ( Yha.org.uk ) Oxford street. It is .6 mile from the museum or about a 15 minute walk. It is on the top floors of a building on a quiet back street. The rooms are small but have only 2 bunks, 4 beds per room.
It was definitely not a party hostel. YHA London Central is about 1 mile away from the museum but is much bigger with 6 to 8 beds per foot and often attracts groups, sometimes by the bus load but I had no problems with noise.
Hope this helps.

The Ridgemont Hotel on Gower Street is close to the British Museum and is reasonably priced. Not a hostel but not party central either.
