London. Our big, bright and beautiful capital city. Studying here looks fantastic on paper and it truly is – it houses some of the world\u2019s top educational institutions, is great for sightseeing, and if you\u2019re a foodie there\u2019s no better place to be! But as the money starts trickling out of your bank account and you begin to develop a phobia of checking your monthly bank statement (I speak from experience) you realise that the high-end city lifestyle you\u2019ve been dreaming about comes with a hefty price tag.<\/p>\n

But don\u2019t fret! In this blog post I\u2019ll be dishing the dirt on 8 of the best things to do in London as a student (on a budget of course). Who says you can\u2019t have fun whilst living cost-effectively in what is arguably the best city in the world?<\/p>\n

Central London sightseeing<\/h4>\n

If you\u2019re not a local (or even if you are), it can be cheaper to see the city\u2019s iconic sights than you may have originally thought. A bus ride into Central London comes to about \u00a31.50 and from there, attractions such as the London Eye and Tower Bridge are a short walk away. Why catch a pricey tour bus when you have TFL? Check out some of the best routes here<\/a>.<\/p>\n

Tip: I highly recommend evening strolls along the Thames riverbank – the bridges are lit up beautifully at this time and there are plenty of delicious food stalls to try.<\/p>\n

The markets<\/h4>\n

The London Markets truly have something for everyone, at any time of year. Whether you fancy some delicious and hearty food from Borough Market (located near London Bridge), want to experience the vintage shopping scene at Old Spitalfields Markets, get some flowers in Columbia Road, or something a little grungier in Camden, there\u2019s no shortage of things to see, taste and do in these bustling locations.<\/p>\n
