London
Come to City and experience the buzz of living right in the heart of one of Europe's most vibrant cities. Everything is on your doorstep.
London has been placed second in the QS Top Universities Best Student Cities in the World 2012. Alongside London's "world-class facilities" and links with business and the professions, the city was also commended as "a mind-boggling cultural confluence". As QS states: "there aren't many things that you could hanker for as a student that aren't on offer in abundance in London."
- Live in the centre of London. The University is in the centre of London. It's close to several Underground lines so it's easy to travel around. You're just a few stops away from London's West End, including Oxford Street and Covent Garden. Plus, students get a 30% discount on the cost of a weekly travelcard.
- Try something new. When you're living away from home for the first time, it's the perfect time to try new things. How about taking up a new sport or becoming a community volunteer?
- See art, music, theatre and dance. Every week you can find thousands of exciting cultural events across London - and many give student discounts. Try Tate Modern, the Royal Festival Hall, the National Theatre and Sadler's Wells.
- Explore the world's knowledge. The British Library has 14 million books, 920,000 journal and newspaper titles and three million sound recordings. Students can access this extraordinary collection once they have a free Reader Pass. And it's just two Underground stops from City (Angel to Euston on the Northern Line).

- Discover London nightlife. London nightlife is famous the world over. On any night of the week you'll find a huge range of events, many of which are free or discounted for students.
- Take a walk in the park. London has over 3,000 parks and open spaces, making it one of the greenest capitals in the world. Try the outdoor sports areas and open air theatre at Regent's Park , row a boat on the Serpentine lake in Hyde Park , or enjoy one of the best views of London from Parliament Hill on Hampstead Heath.
