Fitness

Staying fit both physically and mentally is a key part of modern day life; you’ll dramatically improve your quality of life and career prospectus if you take care of number 1. London is blessed with a multitude of fitness options, from paid gyms to free fitness clubs. Options are so plentiful you’ll have no problems incorporating fitness into your lifestyle in a way which best suits you.

Culture

London is so full of culture, it’s almost overflowing. Both of our campuses are close to direct transport links into the city centre. Being a student living in London means you’ll be able to soak up all the city has to offer, from international cuisine to cultural activities, allowing you to grow on a personal level as well as academically.

The quiet life

If it’s the quiet life you prefer you’d be forgiven for thinking London may not be your cup of tea. But if you look a little closer you’ll see a different side to the capital… a side full of independent coffee shops, vast leafy parks and a transport system which can easily take you out of the hustle and bustle in no time.
