Enjoying London
London is a city of opportunity. There is so much to see and do outside of the classroom that you'll never be bored:
- Culture: visit the hundreds of galleries and museums from the Tate Modern to the British Museum.
- More studying: visit the British Library and browse 14 million books and 3 million sound recordings.
- Theatre: with over 150 theatres, London is the best place to watch a new play, musical or opera.
- Shopping: indulge yourself with a trip to the capital's thousands of shops and markets, from Oxford Street to Camden Market.
- Attractions: see the city from the sky on the fantastic London Eye or visit one of London's four world heritage sites.
- Eating out: enjoy a taste of world cuisine at one of the city's 11,000 restaurants, cafés and takeaways.
- Nightlife: meet your friends for a pint in a traditional London pub or dance the night away in some of the world's coolest bars and clubs.
- Green London: relax in one of the nine Royal Parks or go for a swim in the Hampstead Heath ponds. 33% of the city is green space - amazing!
- Travel: take the train to Oxford, Stonehenge, Stratford, Canterbury, Brighton or even Paris.
- Sport: Premier League football international rugby, Grand Slam Tennis or Test cricket - you choose! And don't forget to join us for the world's biggest sports extravaganza when the Olympic and Paralympic Games come to London in 2012.
