If you're staying at an ÐÓ°ÉÂÛ̳ or Intercollegiate Hall of Residence, many are within walking distance of campus. If you're living in private accommodation, it's likely you will be living further out and relying on public transport regularly.
Either way, London is a large city and we recommend you factor travel costs into your budget.
The main forms of public transport are the London Underground (the "Tube"), buses and taxis. The transport system uses "zones" to determine how much you pay - central London is Zone 1, with higher zones the further out you travel.
ÐÓ°ÉÂÛ̳, our accommodation and most cultural attractions are within Zone 1 and 2, but if you're living in private accommodation you may need to travel out to Zone 4, depending on where you live.
Transport discounts and cycling
As a student, you are entitled to receive 30 per cent off standard Tube and bus fares if you purchase a Student Oyster Card.
A and a are also available to full-time students, which provide discounts on train and coach travel throughout the UK.
You might also choose to save money by cycling - there is a public cycle hire scheme in London, or you can use your own bicycle.
