Discover London

You will be living and learning in one of the most famous cities in the world – voted the best city for students. There is always something remarkable to see or do in London, and our team can be your guide.

Did you know most national museums and art galleries in the UK are free, and only ask for an optional donation?

London is also the greenest city in Europe. There are eight royal parks in the city, and many more green spaces to be found. All are free to enjoy. Walk or cycle, sit down with a book or have a picnic with friends – live like a local.

Thousands of unique restaurants, trendy rooftop bars, concerts across the city, West End theatre shows, independent shops and markets, make you feel part of big city life every single day of the year.

London and beyond

London is a spectacular place on its own and it also has fast connections to everywhere else in the UK.

The seaside town of Brighton and historic Cambridge and Oxford are all only an hour away by train. London’s location and excellent travel links (not to mention the relatively small size of the UK) mean you can visit many famous destinations during your stay. An organised trip is the perfect way to make new friends too.
