Education and Schools in London, England

London is a multicultural and diverse city which welcomes citizen from all around the world and makes them feel like home. There is plenty of places to visit like museums, universities, big buildings, banks, restaurants of all kinds, shopping mall, big parks and outdoor activities. I would highly recommend visiting London as the busiest and very beautiful city.

Someone moving to London should know the underground tubes are very busy during rush hour. Rush hour in the morning is usually between 7am and 9:30am. Rush hour in the evening is between 4:30 pm and 6:30pm. This may vary during the school holidays. I would always recommend avoiding rush hour wherever possible as the tubes can be very hot, particularly in summer. London is littered with Boris bikes, an initiative started by Boris Johnson when he was the Mayor of London. These are inexpensive to hire and are good for the environment.

London is a bustling metropolis meaning that anyone moving here must be prepared to deal with 100s of grumpy faces daily. Additionally, the size of the city means the vast majority of its residents use overcrowded public transport daily to get to and from work and school. This also adds to the already very high cost of living.

London is a beautiful and multicultural city. It’s streets are overflowing with culture and history. It is a perfect place for holidays and short trips and would offer no shortage of entertainment and education for longer trips or gap years. I recommend you visit the charming Buckingham Palace, take a stroll through Hyde Park and do some essential shopping along Oxford Street.

London is a fantastic place but can be very expensive. I recommend in depth research into buying or renting a home to see if it falls in line with your budget. London is also a great place for education with plenty of quality schools, colleges and Universities.
