With London being only 30-minutes by train I couldn’t not include a blog about some of the things London can offer.  

Zip Now London

As the biggest and the fastest city centre zip wire in the world, Zip Now is a challenge you should definitely try out. Whether you are a thrill-seeker or a regular student like me, the 225-metre journey within just a few second will surely blow your mind.

Skating at Somerset House

Enjoy your night skating at one of the most beautiful ice rinks in London with your fanciest ice-skating outfit. The rink-side Fortnum’s Christmas Arcade is also back this winter. Be sure to go shop for your Christmas gifts. It really is the perfect way to end a day of Christmas fun in London.

Ballie Ballerson Ball Pit

The famous ball pit bar boasts its magical ONE MILLION balls in the pool. An experience that will help you escape from your Surrey workload for a while and have your Insta feed updated within just a few hours.

Bounce Shoreditch

Now there do not get the wrong ideas. Bounce Shoreditch is a place you will end up loving for its serious dedication to table tennis. The music here is loud and the pizza will satisfy your taste buds. With balls flying everywhere around the tables, get ready for some serious fun.

Afternoon Tea Bus Tour

Experience afternoon tea with a difference on this exclusive and unique Brigit’s Bakery Classic Afternoon Tea Bus London Tour. The vintage routemaster buses drive through the streets of Central London, taking in some of the City’s best sights, whilst you indulge in the fabulous Brigit’s Afternoon Tea on a double decker bus!

There is obviously so much more to do in London but this teeny tiny list might have just given you that thirst to look further into what London can offer a student – especially one on a budget.
