London life

One of the world’s greatest cities, with a truly unrivalled range of attractions and activities, you’ll never be short of things to do in London. Crammed with world-class museums, galleries, theatres and restaurants, there is no better place to live, work and study.

This 24-hour city has clubs, pubs and music venues to cater for every taste, and with a student card, you’ll find evenings out are a lot more affordable. Discover some of the world’s finest art collections, cultural centres and libraries in a city that plays host to a dazzling array of exhibitions and shows of every kind.

Exploring London’s colourful and diverse districts is a must for any student. Whether you want to taste gourmet treats at Borough Market, go clubbing in Hackney, or watch open-air theatre in Regents Park, each area has its individual character, from cutting-edge Hoxton to upmarket Chelsea and beyond.

Shopaholics and bargain-hunters will find that we are near countless local markets where vintage gems are to be found. Just a quick tube-ride away is Soho and the West End. Sporting fans are also well catered for, with major international events taking place at top class venues like Wimbledon, Lords and Twickenham.

If you are a fan of the beautiful game, you’ll find Arsenal’s Emirates Stadium within easy striking distance of our London North campus. If all this is too much, then London has some beautiful parks and gardens where you can relax and chill out.
