Fancy A Weekend Away From London? Check Out These Great UK Student Haunts
As a student, you always seem to have one eye on the textbooks and the other on your overdraft limit! Life is always so busy too, trying to squeeze in study sessions, part-time work and a good social life. While the summer holidays should be a bit less hectic, you find yourself needing to work full time to save up for the next year of your education. Nobody said it was going to be easy, but you probably thought it was never going to be this hard either.
During the holidays, you may find yourself needing to head back to London. If you live a fair distance from the capital, this can be tough going. All the student accommodation is shut down for the holidays, so all you can do is find a hotel for the night. Fortunately, London is one of the best places to find a good hotel. You can check out Venere hotels to get an idea of what is available and what you will need to pay.
While you are in London, you may be able to catch up with some friends or even make use of some the better bars and clubs! While you won’t have access to your University cafeteria, there are still some places that offer food at a very good rate. Alternatively, many of London’s hotels offer good food in their own restaurant. Sometimes it is nice to spend quality leisure time in London instead of only being there to study.
Some students who study in London have surprisingly never done the tourist thing. A large number of students who live in London just to study are unsure how to navigate around the capital either. Are you are one of the students who has never had a chance to check out what it is that makes London one of the best cities in the world? Your quick holiday stayover may be the opportunity to find one or two of London’s great landmarks. If you are interested in the arts, take a walk along South Bank. Museums and street performers, as well as The National Theatre, make this area very high-culture. Pop into the art gallery for the latest high profile exhibition.
Buckingham Palace during the Changing of the Guard is an absolute must for everyone who ever visits the capital. The spectacle of it is quite memorable, but it is always nice to get a selfie for FaceBook to show you’ve been there. The London Eye will also give you a fabulous view over your city to help you get a better, bird’s eye view of where all the key landmarks are in town. Finally, be sure to save up a few quid and check out one of the amazing West End shows. A night in the West End is a must, no matter who you are. You can make the most of musicals, theatre or comedy clubs, as well as one of the most iconic cinemas in the world.
