Arts, music and cultural events in London
Access to London's best plays, performances, shows, exhibitions, gigs and film screenings enrich our students' studies as well as their social livesAs the University is set just south of the River Thames, we are perfectly located to access London's 'Theatreland'. A 10-15 minute walk from campus and you can find yourself in the heart of culture on the South Bank. Our students can immerse themselves in the best of London's plays, performances, exhibitions and screenings which enriches their studies as well as their social lives.
What do I love about London? It's the classic answer I suppose – the million different things you can do here. There's an activity or something interesting going on every hour of the day. My favourites are dance classes, jazz cafes, really good affordable restaurants, and amazing gigs.
