London is an amazing city with lots to do and see. I have travelled to many cities within England and abroad and I always find that for me london is my favourite. It has such a diverse population, so many different restaurants to eat out in, London has you spoilt for food choices. However food can be very expensive as London does have a range of Michelin starred restaurants however you can also find cheaper restaurants on average prices for entrees at restaurants is around 10 pounds. In terms of nights out there are also many choices, however unlike most cities e.g Leeds there is not really a strip of night clubs and bars that everyone goes to the clubs and bars in London are spread apart in the different areas of London as it is a very big city. The clubs can be very expensive in London for entry can cost around 20 pounds and drinks are also very expensive in comparison to other parts of England it costs 10 pounds for a jägerbomb in some places 🙄. However there are many different clubs with different music and the nights out are excellent. There are student nights also where is it much cheaper. Mayfair has some exclusive night outs in some fancy clubs however you usually require a promotor and these clubs can be quite sexist as girls get free entry and boys have to pay 20 pounds.... Overall the city is absolutely beautiful especially during Christmas when the lights are up all over Oxford Circus, harrods, John Lewis etc there is a lot of shopping also to be done in this wonderful city. However to truly enjoy all London has to over you do need to have quite a bit of money.

If you're tired of London you're tired of life.... it's been said so often but yet can't be more accurate. Literally had everything that you could ever want from a city, amazing food amazing street life and cultural events, music concerts, west end musicals, the lot really! The art scene is incredible and taking off again particularly around brick lane and the East end with fashion studios and the like around in the area.

There are endless things to do in the city of London. The best places for a night out is by far Shoreditch. The bars here are reasonably priced and the atmosphere is amazing. I would definitely recommend going to Cargo if you're looking for more of a club atmosphere and everything is within walking distance so you can save your pennies for the bagel shop at the end of the night! The only downside is the cost of rent as I paid over £10,000 on rent in my first year and almost £8,000 in my second year. I wouldn't suggest living here if you don't have the financial support of your parents as you will struggle in the long run. I ended up commuting in my final two years as I'd rather save that money.

With so much to do and see it's no wonder students choose to come to London to further their education. An expensive place to live it is but also a treasure trove of experiences, bars, clubs, galleries, museums, pop ups and national treasures. People from all walks of life can thrive in London regardless of religion, status, lifestyle etc and it's diversity is yet another of its charms. Dietary requirements? Spoilt for choice. Need a new hobby or some distraction? The city has you covered.

I've lived here all my life and I still find there is so much to explore. There are so many places to eat and as a foodie, I get so excited to try new restaurants and cuisines. You can find great places to visit on a budget. I guess a place you can't go wrong with is Nandos. For shopping, I'd recommend Westfield Stratford or Oxford Street. You can find good things but because I can get impatient when it's busy, I prefer online shopping.

London is a vibrant and happening city with a lot of good student deals on food, entertainment and nightlife. The only thing is that transport and accommodation is rather expensive!!

London is an amazing place where people of all ages sexes and ethnicities can come together as one and experience amazing Cultures and information. The nightlife is great can be expensive. Transport is very easy and convenient. Also very quick. Shopping is as you'd want It to be in a city. They have everything and anything you want and need.

Well... What can you say about London? The place to be? The greatest city in the world? The first thing that was a shock for me when moving to the big city from my small hometown was definitely the multicultural areas of the capital. When coming from a town where there isn't much diversity, or other noticable cultures, it was a real eye-opener for me. How can it be that a 2 hour drive can go from such a small minded set of people to being in the middle of all sorts of different people, with different backgrounds, different beliefs, different lifestyles. Of course with larger areas, comes a larger amount of crime, but when taking a more in-depth look at this, if you don't get in to the wrong groups of people, you will hardly ever see the crime taking place. As for things to do, after almost 18 months living in the capital, I'm yet to find myself struggling for things to go and do, and see. The transport getting around is made simple with the underground, and if thag doesn't take your fancy, there is always a bus and with a fare of £1.50 to go anywhere, you can't go wrong. The nightlife puts London on another level for people from the places that have all gone home by 11:30pm, as you will find people partying, clubs raving, kebab houses serving all night long, any day of the week. With shopping comes a lot of queueing, but with such a wider range of shops available to you, it's worth the wait queueing to be able wear that new outfit that makes you look fresh. You'll never run out of food to eat, with a new place to eat every single day if you wanted to. Many different variants of food are on offer, but you have the try some of the chip shops in Leicester Square. They will take you on a journey you've never been on before. The value for money, if you embrace the entire city and explore, is very high. The only issue is with higher wages, and more things to do, comes a higher expenditure. For a student, go out and have fun! For the more senior person, maybe not so much, but if your choosing to live here, it can't be all bad! Can it?

Very cosmopolitan with a modern vibe. The city itself is traditional, encompassing the true heritage of Britain without diminishing the the new style of recent developments, particularly in central London.

I'm just gonna say it, London is amazing. I come from a little town in Spain and this city is game-changer. Amazing transport, many different foods and restaurants from all over th world, my university is awesome (LSBU rocks!) the change from euros to pounds is a little expensive, but it's a sacrifice I'm willing to do. You have an awful lot of options when it comes to nights out, from great clubs like Ministry of Sound in Elephant and Castle, to your neighborhood pub. You will have a lot of things to do and tons of landmarks to visit, my favorite one is the Sky Garden, you have an amazing view of the city, and when it come to shopping, you just gotta hit Oxford Street, you have everything, and when I say everything I mean EVERYTHING, another great place to go shopping, Camden Town, the little old shops collide with the street wear shops like Vans and other. So overall score, 5 stars, London is amazing.

London night out is like no other, clubs for the high end, low end, those who just like to go for a drink to those who like to party until 6am. So much to see and do, from visiting the queen to going to the aquarium. The only thing would be money - London is very expensive but most places you do get what you pay for. The food in London is also amazing - sushi, Chinese, traditional English food whatever you want London has got it. Some of the best shopping in the country also at Westfield, oxford street, Camden market the whole lot.

There is an endless amount to do and see in London from visting great landmarks such as the big Ben and London Eye to more exciting London dungeon and for the faint hearted London Zoo and Kew Gardens are an excellent shout. The food scene is bursting with flavour rich and diverse- Camden market and spitalfields are must visits. For those in the City, Petticoat Lane and the Kerb near the Gherkin are excellent lunch places.

Lots of landmarks to see and visit, including tower bridge, a vast range of restaurants, ranging from Chinese to British and from Asian to jamaican. Really good transport links to the city at cheap prices. At night time you can catch a lit vibe with easy transport links home

Food is SO food, literally food from every cuisine you can think of, high end and cheaper,depends on what you like. London is awesome all in all and there is so much to do!

Nights Out are good, but can be super expensive. Generally I think people expect food in London to be crazy expensive but I don't find it to be so, you just need to know where to look. Camden market or borough market (those kinda places) are good to be getting food from. It's easy to get everywhere though a bit expensive, £2 a journey for an adult on the tube I think; and it does add up.

Best place to live in the UK, so much diversity you'll meet someone from everywhere. The food is great with so many hidden gems. London can be expensive but it's so easy to have a great lifestyle while budgeting.

There is such a wide variety of food motives where to start! Living in Borough I can wholly recommend both the Gentleman's Barista for coffee and a delicious well priced student brunch meal! Perfect for those weekend catch ups! Borough has recently had the addition of Padella which never fails to have a queue all the way round the building into Borough Market when I pass! Late night sweet tooth? The local Creams has got your back! There's plenty to do to wether you want to got for a stroll down the river to Tower Bridge or have a delve down into the London Dungeons there's something for everyone in London!

I love London, the lights, the glam, the action. A night out in Piccadilly, your greeted with music, vibes, atmosphere and great socialable people. London is a hub of people, different ethnicity, different lifestyles, different foods, etc, and this is the main reason I love it here, you can always find something to do, or something to eat!

As a young person who likes to go on nights out a lot, I love using residentadvisor to go to cool club events in London. I met new people and took part in various activities like yoga, rock climbing, escape rooms etc. There's a lot to do in London as a student. London is filled with cuisines from around the world and if you know the right places to go then you don't need to break your bank account. Yes living costs in London are high but there's plenty of places that have student discounts. Take advantage of it all!
