What advice would you give future students heading to London?

If you can get part-time work, try because London is expensive. Retail and bar-work is your most likely option.

Otherwise, enjoy everything London has to offer. Go see the most famous landmarks but also try and search events or places that are less popular with tourists to get more of a feel for London.
