Being in London

London is a unique metropolis offering diverse set of experiences and activities to choose from that you could live your entire life here and still not know all the secrets on offer in Europe’s largest city. Having this multitude of choices also makes life in London interesting to a student as you have a variety of activities and experiences to choose from, to such extent that in most cases the choices available can be overwhelming.

London is a great place which offers you a great deal of choices as a student. It is important to make the choices that you feel most comfortable with and most importantly have a great time while doing whatever you do in London.

Public Transport

See Transport for London website click here

If you’re a regular user of public transport then splash out £5 on a student Oyster card, it saves you 30% on travel cards and bus passes, and can also be used as a normal Oyster card. A normal Oyster card costs £2 and is much easier and cheaper to get if you’re an infrequent user of the tubes or buses.

The bus is a great way to get you orientated in a foreign city, you’ll learn how ridiculously close to one another some of the tube stops are, and that nothing is really as far away as it seems.

Make sure you’re kitted out with an A-Z map and that you pick up a tube, cycle path or bus map from your local tube station so you know your way around

Catch a Show

For lovers of the Performing Arts, London’s theatre land is just a short tube ride away, or 8 stops on the bus from Urdang’s own bus stop (right outside the main entrance). Sadlers Wells is just down the road and it’s easy to be inspired by the numerous shows on offer!
