Description

London, an international center of business, fine arts, design, theater, technology, politics and finance, has inspired creativity and cutting edge innovation for centuries. There is something for everyone in London: a bustling financial district (The City), Soho (center of the advertising and public relations scene and home to vibrant night life), street markets, green spaces and elaborate parks, ruins, monuments, political machinations, art galleries and museums. Monuments to Britain's glorious past are found throughout London, too many to mention, though some not to be missed include the Tower of London, the Old Royal Observatory in Greenwich, the British Museum, and Trafalgar Square. Because of its famed galleries, the energy of Soho, the history that lives in the streets, the pub scene and the tranquility of London's parks, London is alive with sources of inspiration.

Highlights

University College London is ranked as one of the top 10 universities in the world, and offers students the chance to study a wide variety of challenging disciplines. UCL was the first university in England to welcome students of any race, class, or religion, and the first to welcome women on equal terms with men. It has earned a reputation as a center of enlightenment in academia.
