Living in London
London is one of the worlds most
remarkable and exciting cities, with
something to offer everyone.
The fantastic diversity of population and lifestyles is
reflected through its wide-ranging cuisine, eclectic
shops, thriving music scene, and colourful festivals.
Relax in Hyde Park, catch the spectacular view of
the city from the London Eye, or escape from the
bustling capital to enjoy a relaxing weekend away
at the beaches in Brighton or Bournemouth, all just
an easy train ride away!
Take a tour on the traditional London double-
decker bus and explore famous sights such as Big
Ben, Buckingham Palace and the Tower of London.
We hope that you experience many of the delights this
city has to offer. London buzzes night and day with an
unforgettable energy, and each area of the city has its
own distinct atmosphere. Central London, where
many of the campuses are located is in the heart of the
city. Its made up of many districts from the iconic
City of Westminster to the City of London, the main
financial area of the capital. This central area has a
dense concentration of landmarks, theatres, museums,
nightspots and famous shopping areas like Covent
Garden and Oxford Street.
