Student Life
We are located in one of the best locations for a night out in London and in the UK. City University London is close to some of the capital's biggest and most famous night spots.
City students enjoy a host of venues in the West End and the local area, and many student-friendly nights with cheaper admission and discounted drinks.
Music
London has always been famous for its music scene. Many local venues - such as the O2 Academy, Highbury Garage and Buffalo Bar - give cheap entry to students on most nights and are often used by the Students' Union for end of term events.
Bars
A huge variety of different bars and pubs can be found in Angel, Islington, Clerkenwell and Shoreditch. Their diverse range means that there is something for everyone.
Restaurants
Angel, Islington, Clerkenwell and Shoreditch are the places to go to for some of the best restaurants in the UK, perhaps in the entire world. There are also plenty of low-budget and takeaway options, with food from a multitude of cultures.
Shopping
Islington boasts many essential services such as supermarkets and banks as well as numerous high-street shops and street markets. To the south of the University is Clerkenwell and to the West is Shoreditch, both areas peppered with small boutiques and designer stores.
A short bus or tube ride away, Covent Garden, Oxford Street and Caranaby Street house some of the most famous stores in Europe.
Theatre
London's West End offers a wide range of shows and discounted tickets for students can often be obtained from the Students' Union. Locally, Sadler's Wells, the Barbican and the Almeida are some of the major centres for the arts in London.

Islington's 'Screen on the Green' is one of London's finest art-house cinemas, showing classic and alternative cinema for real movie fans. Just south of the University, the Barbican plays new releases and world cinema every week.
