• Best Things For Students to Do In London

  London is an incredible city for students, with few places in the world offering such a diverse selection of things to do for all tastes. When you aren’t relaxing in your London student house, there’s few better ways to spend a rainy afternoon than exploring the amazing free museums the city has to offer. The Natural History Museum, Victoria and Albert Museum and Tate Modern are firm favourites with their central location and free entry, however the lesser known Horniman Museum complete with animals, and the Imperial War Museum are equally as interesting. For some greenery check out one of the many parks in the city, or venture to the leafy suburbs of South West London for a walk and a lunch among cute terraced houses and fashionable locals. London’s nightlife is also second-to-none, with pubs and bars to suit every vibe, and nightclubs famous for everything from techno to jazz. If your student loan is looking healthy, you might even enjoy a spot of shopping on Regent’s Street of Westfield, or grab a bargain in the markets of Portobello and Brick Lane. Whatever your interests, you won’t be bored in London when you are itching to escape the classroom or your student house.
