Life in London
As a student at the University of
Westminster you will be at the heart of one of the world's most
vibrant and cosmopolitan cities. Steeped in history and culture,
London is bursting with attractions. In amongst the famous
landmarks and museums are bustling street markets, serene parks and
a multitude of restaurants, cafes and pubs. Studying at the
University of Westminster's central campuses, you are within easy
reach of excellent libraries, specialist bookshops and research
centres. You will also be minutes away from the Houses of
Parliament and Big Ben, Piccadilly Circus, the British Museum and
one of London's premier shopping districts: Oxford Street. London
offers something for everyone, wherever your interests lie, and as
a resident rather than a tourist you can explore the city's
culturally diverse neighbourhoods and enjoy the food, music and
spirit of London life.
