A global capital that students, families and pilgrims all call home.
London is the most common destination for our student travellers and a hub for families and business. Free world-class museums, royal palaces, West End shows and green parks sit beside markets and neighbourhoods from Camden to Brixton. It's walkable, well-connected and endlessly rewarding.

Travel tips
Before you go.
Practical guidance from our consultants, so you arrive ready.
UK visa
A Standard Visitor visa is required for most West African passports. We support the application and documents.
Use an Oyster / contactless card
Tap the same card on Tube and bus; daily caps keep it cheap.
Museums are free
British Museum, National Gallery, V&A, Natural History and more — donate if you can.
Stand on the right
On escalators, stand right, walk left. Locals will tell you otherwise.
Mind the weather
Layers and a compact umbrella — rain can arrive any month.
