Study in London
London is one of the world’s most exciting cities. Vibrant, cosmopolitan, rich in history and culture,
London is an exhilarating place to study.
London was founded by the Romans and its strategic location near the mouth of the River Thames and facing
Europe enabled it to thrive as a commercial port and national capital. The history of England is marked in
its buildings – the Tower of London, St Paul’s Cathedral, Buckingham Palace, Trafalgar Square and the Houses
of Parliament with its famous clock tower Big Ben. London also has a large number of world-class museums
and art galleries and is famed for its West End theatre land.
Its cosmopolitan identity is reflected in the exciting range of restaurants, bars, live music and art and
crafts. London has many shops, from the expensive shops of Bond and Regent Street, to the department stores of
Oxford Street, to trendy Covent Garden and funky Camden Market. Football lovers can flock to the stadia of Arsenal,
Chelsea and Tottenham, music lovers to Covent Garden and the new O2 Arena, whilst fans of Shakespeare can enjoy a
unique spectacle at the open air Globe Theatre.
For those wanting a break from the bricks and concrete, London’s many parklands offer
a retreat, such as Hyde Park, near to the buzzing Oxford Street.
