This is for all of the students London-bound for the summer or fall. Check out a couple of tips for living on the cheap and of course some suggestions for outings and debauchery.
Sustenance & Clothing
1. Buy your food from the market- Try going to Sainsbury or ASDA to buy food and then buy take away (Brits say take out this way) every once in a blue!
2. Portobello Market- This is awesome for purchasing clothing and cheap organic food. Check yes and yes!
3. Eat at the Pub- In the US, this might not be such a good idea, but with the weak dollar you need to keep the spending down to about five pounds per meal.
4. Try Camden Town and Notting Hill for the markets. Rumor has it that these are the markets to get food dirt cheap.
5. Student Discounts: Get your card from ISE and swipe it where ever you can!
Give It A Look See- Places To Visit
1. Music, DJs, and Dance Madness- Go to the Favela Chic site to get suggestions for the coolest shows.
2. Hyde Park- Sit out on the grass and watch beautiful London go by!
3. Piccadilly Circus- It's way touristy, but it's so fun and you can find everything there.
4. Harrods- Don't buy anything! Alright, look around, ooh and ahh, then walk out with your wallet closed.
