Easy to find new places each time you're unsure of what to do or where to go. Offers can be found anywhere every single day.

Good night out, but can be very expensive after everything is add together. But has very good transport links

I think transport is too expensive. Nights out - amazing amount of greatchoices forevery ocasion. Drinks are a little expensive tough and most pubs close early. Shopping - visit regent and oxford street if you have the time (busy with tourists). I prefer Covent Garden and Carnaby street. Go to Soreditch (Brick Lane and Spitalfield Market) for vintage shopping. Eating out- reviews on instagram! Entertainmant - best shows at west end and love the cinema in Shoreditch. Kino Cinema is a good cheap cinema. Plenty of good comedy shows near Covent Garden and don't forget to visit a Jazz Bar.

London is a city where it never sleeps. There is a hurd of people in one city which is why (unbelievably) the most spectacular city of all! Hundreds of diverse people/students wondering around who got nothing but posting vibes.

London is an epic city with something for everyone! From a vibrant night life to exploring the historic sites, there is never a dull moment. It has so much culture and offers a range of activities to do at a range of prices, from going to the theatre to shopping on oxford street or chilling in Hyde park. The transport links are pretty good and there is hundreds of different food outlets to eat at. Come and see for yourselves!

I love London. There are so many places to explore and the transport options to do just that are extensive and also efficient. There are great places to eat and drink, however I would love for some of these restaurants/bars were more considerate of students and their necessary need to budget! Once you get into central, a night out can escalate in price very quickly!

London is a very nice city to live in, with lots of restaurants, shopping and places to visit. it also has lots of cinemas in every areas with easy access to transport where ever you go. it's easy to be overwhelmed. Major sights like the Tower of London and Buckingham Palace are on most visitors' itineraries, but no matter what your interests, you'll probably find something here. Art lovers should make a beeline for the National Gallery and the Tate Modern. If military history's your thing, don't miss the Cabinet War Rooms. Finally, forget everything you've heard about bland, mushy British food,the restaurant scene here is fabulous.

If you go to the right places to eat and shop the value for money is appropriate, also if you shop online, you can get good discount codes off uniDays. I don't really go out in the night as the transport is very rare and i love quite far from where i go out compared to where i live. the transport is good and reliable, mostly trains however they close stations for over grounds early and i hate rats and mice so when i see one i get scarred from the station. however the total hygiene of transport it's quite good, however i HATE the public toilets they always stink no matter how many times you clean them! Also entertainment is quite rare when it comes to circus and etc as it's just happens either in the summer or winter and i never get the chance to go because it's either too expensive ( winter wonderland) or just not convenient for me.

You can't get bored in London. There is so much to do. It's the capital and therefore you have every shop and it's flagstores, you can get anything you want here. There are different events and pop ups almost everyday. London holds some of the biggest super clubs/concerts/gigs. It has a full range of quirky dining to 5* dining. Lots of vegan options. London is very diverse and it's almost like it's 100s of very different towns all 5 mins from each other in one big city. Transport on the tubes is great and capped in zone 1 and 2 so relatively cheap. The only downside to London is it's extremely expensive compared to the rest of the UK. This is mainly reflected in rent prices and property prices, but also in food and drink.

There is a lot of variety in London as there are many types of restaurants to eat from. There is also a variety of fast food joints to grab food and go. The value for money depends on where you eat and how much you have to spend in your budget.

Nights out are probably the best here, food is expensive but if you go to the right places with student discounts it's not so bad, there's loads of shopping places including westfield, oxford street and so much more. Getting around the area is so easy with public transport and there's also lots to see around here- from museums to the London eye to theatre shows! I would definitely recommend the location if you love having things to do and exploring places.

London is a city where you can do anything, if you have the tolerance and patience to deal with the weather. The most multi-cultural city in the world no doubt, and such a great representation of vintage and new architecture alike. Ensure that you plan ahead to identify any events that maybe happening during your visit to make the most of such an opportunistic experience.

Good shopping, expensive, need to book when going to clubs, great restaurants and street fashion. Need to be conscious of keeping safe. Good museums and what ever you need London has.

Lots of good restaurants to visit and most museums are free to go to. I visited the Old Bailey and watched court cases for free which were amazing to see. Lots of shopping in Oxford Street and Westfield.

London is a great place to live, as long as you have money. There's so many different food places to go to and things to try out; it's an experience. In terms of night life, there are few decent clubs in London for young adults (unless it's a student night). They're usually full of older things, but if that's your thing go for it. Definitely bring lots of money if you're moving here!

And each one of them is so nice !!! Food markets , OH GOD!!! Best thing ever!!! If you could try the Waterloo food market do it! Won't regret it :) :). I don't give 5 starts to London just because of one reason: THE WEATHER! I never know what I have to wear! It's rainy and in the next 2 hours sunny af! Then windy and freezing!!! Soooo weird !! but you kinda get used to it !

Always something to do. A lot of free events. Travel is often frequent but the traffic during rush hour is the main problem. Overall it's a great and diverse city to be in.

London is such an exciting city to live in. The list of things to do in the city is varied and endless, as well as the fantastic transport links to explore further afield. The only slight down side is the cost- particularly the drinks and rent prices--however once you know your way around it is easy to find cheap alternatives for almost anything!

london is a great place to live for students: great food everywhere, wild night outs, thrift shops ... big problem though is the money, everything is expensive: museums, food, cinema, nightclubs ... so if you want to have a good experience of London you must be willing to invest a lot of money.

London is such a lovely place to be in. There's always something to do, day or night. There's plenty of shopping centres such as both Westfields and many ways to get things cheaper than they actually are, like super Mondays at Vue Cinemas.

London has one of the best nightlife experiences I have seen so far. The transport can be quite quick unless it's peak train and car times, then it can be incredibly slow and overcrowded. Shopping is quite good with so many shops to choose from that you can just order and it will come straight to your door.

London is great for many things; food, culture, entertainment. Whatever you're into, it's avaibalbe. The only downside is the price. Most places are quite expensive compared to out of London and there's also the price of travel. But overall the experiences makes it worthwhile
