Twickenham Town

Always able to find a lovely coffee shop with great choices! Esquires is a personal favourite, I am gluten free too and there are definitely places to eat that offer a wide range of gluten free choices! Wetherspoons is always a good shout for students and it’s very big so can normally find a seat! Twickenham is close to all other shopping places too, I wish there was more bigger brand shops in Twickenham but the charity shops are always friendly and have a great selection. Great transport connections too with the train station central and lots of bus stops, it is slow to drive through in the mornings though due to rush hour.

Great food options in twickenham and it is a pleasant town with nice people and feels safe. However there is no clothing shops at all unless you want to buy exclusively from charity shops. Nearest ones are in kingston. South west trains are known for their poor quality but there is plenty of links to other towns and the buses are relatively on time. Nearest clubs are in kingston.

A great place to live, due to its wide verity of city like life and country side walks. You can enjoy beautiful river walks through the year with amazing pubs along the way suited for every time of year. Just a short walk from the country side feels is Twickenham high street where you can get just about everything you will ever need: including charity shops, three different grocery shop, amazing coffee shops and many more!

St Mary’s is in a fantastic location - you have the glorious greenery of bushy park and a half an hour trip into the centre of London.

Plenty to do and see and only 25 minutes from central London by train. Great places locally to travel to and enjoy.

A lot of cute bars and food places that are affordable for a student. Takeaway choices are on every street as are drugstores like boots and superdrug. food shopping is quick and easy to do as there are many places in Twickenham to shop like iceland. There are also restaurants to suit everyone. Twickenham town is only a short walk from the university and a very pleasant one at that, you can sit along the Riverside next to the thames and relax in the heat and during the summer it's the perfect place to hang out and revise or get a break from studying. There are plenty of coffee shops to go to and a stadium a short walk away so if you are interested in sport, particularly rugby, Twickenham is a great place to be. The atmosphere is amazing and you really feel safe when here.

The shops on the high street are perfect for students, with nothing too expensive plus to have a Wetherspoon pub as well helps for the students to enjoy a pint for not too much money

Twickenham is a beautiful place, with a fascinating history the location is tranquil and calming giving the illusion that you are in the countryside. In addition to the benefits of great transport links to hustle and bustle of the country’s capital, as well as Kingston and Richmond, both places have incredible night life and amazing places to shop!

Nights out here are pretty good, Kington is where it usually goes down and there is a verity of clubs to offer. Loads of food shops and takeaways that all deliver! Money can be an issue if you don't play your cards right but if you've wits about you then is should be fine.

Closest nightlife is in Kingston where there’s Viper Rooms and The Hippodrome. There’s all the main shops you need on the high street such as supermarkets, banks, coffee shops and take aways. It’s an expensive area but worth it as it feels as though you’re further away from London than you actually are!

It’s a family town, but neighboring towns have a lot for uni students and they aren’t that far away. Plus it’s direct train to central from here. Lots to do!

The uni is on the outskirts of the town, but very close walking distance. The town has a variety of grocery, discount and charity shops, banks, and has bars/pubs instead of clubs, so it is not too busy. This means you can have a good night out for a meal, drinks or pub quiz! .
