London

I'm beginning to love London. Especially the calm walks out (when I'm not rushing to class). I recommend Sunday afternoons as the best time to take a relaxing walk. Grab a healthy, a bit pricey but worth-it bite at Pret, drop in a £1 bookstore, and just sit at a park you stumble upon along the way. You don't need a destination in London, give yourself a pleasant surprise as you venture into somewhere new and somehow find your way back again (leave Google Maps as your last resort!). Since there are almost always people walking, it is not so scary to take walks out alone at night. Of course, the necessary precautions should be taken but just bring your oyster card so that you can hope onto a bus whenever you feel uneasy. The thing about London is, I never feel like I'm being negatively evaluated...whether I only have myself for company, wearing something odd or have body paint all over my face (in fact, I feel a sense of appreciative amusement). London doesn't judge.

London is arguably the most popular and well known city in the UK. You can see why with how much there is to do! It doesn't really matter what day of the week it is, there will always be something new to do, eat, see. There are loads of places to explore art - the national gallery right by trafalgar square is amazing, as well as the tate modern for more contemporary art and exhibitions. There are some great places to try new foods as well as London is such a cultural hub. Nights out wise, Dalston and Peckham would be good choices if you liked more casual, underground vibes but there's loads of places in soho or mayfair if you want to dress up, or more student-y clubs like XOYO or Ministry of Sound are always hosting different nights. A great part of living in london is the 24 hour transport - there's loads of rude-sharing apps like uber or viavan as well as the night tube or night bus services meaning you can get anywhere in the capital for a good price. The only negative about london is that you need a big budget to really get to enjoy everything it has to offer, especially after most of your money goes on the great expensive rent prices!

Living in London would be great if there was no knife crime. It used to be only night times and parties when people stabbings would happen but nowadays it's anytime. Last week a stabbing happened near The Lidl where I live. The food is in London great. Very cheap. You have sixty if you're feeling a little poor. You have Nando's kfc and McDonalds everywhere. At least within 2 miles everywhere you go. The nightlife is good. The food is great. Cheap food is everywhere. There's great delivery options

Going to uni in London can be very exciting as it is a very vibrant city and has lots of work opportunities as well as a very varied nightlife, however it is quite expensive going out in central London, so venturing further out would be a lot more cost efficient.

Better than I thought to be honest, there is more here than I (being from London) originally thought - There are all the shops and restaurants you need in the centre and the shopping centre is great. The city is pretty small itself but that's ok. Transport is eh, some of the buses are so infrequent and inconsistent. Nights out are actually pretty good.

London is a great city, although the prices are quite high. Especially when it comes to living costs, you don't always get what you pay for. But there is always something to do, parties, events, shopping to do and always new people to meet!

London is a great city to visit, and work in, but after a while a lot of things will start to really annoy you. Shops close early.. even on weekdays, and weekends even worse. Nights out..? Everything stops at 2/3am... Pubs close at 11! Transportation super expensive, and not really comfortable or reliable! Other countries, you can ride the subway for around 50p and have air con, and internet! Still good for working, and great parks in the city centre, good theatre seen and plenty of galleries and museums (which are free!) unlike in other cities!

Loads of places to go and see. Oxford street at Christmas and ice skating however extremely busy at peak times as you'd expect

Cheap food and great location for shopping as everything is accessible, however it is way too crowded and not ideal for people who prefer quiet surroundings.

Very very very expensive... you will be poor unless you have 3 jobs at once or are a millionaire. Other than that it's great!

In London there are lots to do and see such as art galleries and exhibitions, parks, museums and cool venues. Although everything is convinient and readily available, it comes at a price. Compared to other university towns it is crazy expensive and a night that may cost you under £20 elsewhere could cost more than £50 in London. As long as you stay on top of your spendings, you can almost do anything u want to and meet anyone you like in London!

Coming from a quiet seaside town, I found moving to London for uni very challenging and daunting. However, the business of the city matches the pace of my course at RVC. There are no-end of things to do, places to visit, food to try and experiences to have. I found it very expensive - so you've got to savvy with your money. I have now moved out of London, but I would recommend it for everyone.

Good city overall a lot of things to do. Good transport system but trains are awful in rush hour and in general. Very expensive though.

London is a very expensive city, it's huge so you can find any type of food , restaurant or even decor and vibe you're looking for , it varies from posh tea parties to huge rock and roll parties. Transportation is great by day , but the underground closes at night and only specific trains are left which doesn't encourage going out by night that much.

I feel like London is one of the most beautiful cities in the world. it's a melting pot, everyone is welcome here, from every social, cultural, sexual, religious background. it's a vibrant city full of art and culture, but the only reason why my rating is not 5 stars, is that it's becoming ridiculously expensive; to the point where a tiny bedroom covered in mould in zone 3 might cost you 700£ a month.

London is a very expensive place to live. Public transport is very expensive. Rent also is expensive. Best place to go out: Shoreditch. Nice club and place to eat. Shoreditch is cheaper than other places. If you like retro clothes and street food, Brick Lane is the place to go. There are also two Bagels shops, you can get the best bagels in London for a few quids. There is also a bowling place. And on pancakes day there is a pancake day race. Whitechapel is also the area of Jack the Ripper, and if you are interested, you can do a tour of the area.

London is hugh extremly multicultural city. That is one of the biggest advantages as it helps you to meet cultures and people from all over the world. Also London is city with some of the best universities in the world.

I live in London for a little more than a year now. I am a music artist on the rise and this city has helped me to grow so much, the amount of opportunities in the artistic world is just wonderful. My fellow students in uni last year became dear friends, and the diversity of nationalities in this city has taught me a lot about cultures I haven't heard about. I'm not going to lie though, London is very expensive, I think the most outrageous expense is transportation, TFL is just too expensive it doesn't make any sense. Hopefully the trains and buses are mostly on time and clean but the price to pay is just too much. Still, at the same time, most of the museums have free galleries filled with wonderful objects of art, and music is playing everywhere in the city for free as well if you know where to go. London is a never sleeping city, blessed by its diversity, which challenges you to be creative and dedicated. Also, all the parks are very helpful to relax, you can have beautiful walks in the forest though yiu're still in the city and I think that is amazing. I am thankful I got to live here :)!

King's cross is a good area for pop-ups, street food market called the Kerb market, lots of restaurants, granary square is area for people to enjoy food/sit down next to the canal - short walk to Camden - jazz cafe

London is a great place to study with so many places you can visit at the foot of your door. Many specialist and niche shops and events take place in London. Like anything though, it has its downsides. London is extremely overpriced from accommodation to simply travelling. You can expect to spend upwards of £30 just on the tube within a week. It’s a great place to study providing you have money.

Easy access to shops and central London via tube, but the area itself was quite rough and a bit grubby. Someone had their purse snatched by two blokes on a motorbike driving past. Student club was okay, but nights out are best in different areas that are easily accessible.

Elephant and castle is a great location as the near by transport can take you anywhere in London. There are many bars and clubs around us but there is many places that look run down and are potentially taking up spots for other better businesses. Ones that are aimed towards young people aswell as older people

Fantastic experience and exploring new thing and meeting wounderful people and staff. The location it very poplar and many people like to come here to study.

The area itself is OK. There a few shops food places, the transport links are OK but it can be difficult from some areas in London. Where the uni is based just off the main street where there's alot of traffic both viecal and public. Ya know it's alright.
