London is a multicultural city with a thriving nightlife scene. We have many attractions on our doorstep, from the London Eye (a short bus ride from the school) to Buckingham Palace, Big Ben and the British Museum. We also have a beautiful park only a 10 minute walk from the school.
Things to do
There are lots of museums and art galleries that you can visit. Most of them are free. There are also lots of beautiful parks. A lot of pubs and clubs do a student night. These are mainly during the week.The nightlife in London is not just about pubs and clubs. London is also famous for its theatres in the West End. You can get some good deals on the internet for theatre tickets and meals before and after the show.
Transport
Transport in London is one of the best in the world. It is also one of the most expensive. Everyone has an Oyster Card. You can get these at corner shops that have the Oyster Card logo, or at any train or tube station. You need to pay a £5 deposit for this, and then you can start using it. The way that it works is that you put money on your card. You can do this at a shop that has the Oyster Card logo, or at any train or tube station. You can put a travelcard on this too. All you need to remember is to touch in at the beginning of your journey and touch out at the end.
The quickest way of travelling around London is by tube. The school is located in Zone 2. A Zone 2-3 travel card for a month is £92.60. A bus pass for all zones for a month is £80.70. This is cheaper but it is not as quick as travelling by tube. An alternative to taking the bus or tube is to cycle. You can rent a Santander bike for £2 per day. All you need to do is go to a docking station. You can find out where these are by going to the transport for London website. You need to have a debit card so you can pay. You need to return the bike within 24 hours.
