London, England - Its history, culture, daily life and nightlife make London one of the world's greatest cities and an exciting place to be a student. Traveling in and around London is simple as the entire city and surrounding areas are accessible by bus, underground, and train.
The city has some of the finest museums and libraries in the world, ranging from the long established British museum to the more recent Museum of Moving Image and the new British Library. London is an artistic center that rivals Paris and Rome, and art lovers find paradise in many of its galleries, such as the Tate Gallery, The Tate Modern, the National Gallery, and the Royal Academy of Art.
The variety of entertainment is almost unimaginable. For example, you can attend classical music, jazz, or rock concerts, attend "legitimate" or "fringe" theater performances, go to the opera, get a bird's eye view of the city by riding the "London Eye" built by the British Air for the Millennium celebration and attend international sporting events. You can also shop in traditional, upscale stores on Bond Street or Savill Row or in the trendy boutiques of Soho and Covent Garden.
