style=\"font-style:normal;font-weight:500\">Climate<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"tplpdf_p1_main_b4_p\">London experiences a temperate maritime climate, characterised by mild temperatures and moderate rainfall throughout the year. The weather in the UK is the topic of many conversations because it is so changeable. It is possible to see sun, rain, wind, and clouds on the same day, so it is a good idea to always carry a pair of sunglasses and an umbrella.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"tplpdf_p1_main_b5_b has-large-font-size\" style=\"font-style:normal;font-weight:500\">Money<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"tplpdf_p1_main_b6_p\">The British Pound Sterling (\u00a3, GBP) is the currency used in London.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"tplpdf_p1_main_b7_p\">Students can change money and traveller\u2019s cheques at the post office on High Holborn. Several banks on the same street (HSBC, NatWest, and RBS) allow them to withdraw money from the ATM (cashpoint) machines.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"tplpdf_p1_main_b8_b has-large-font-size\" style=\"font-style:normal;font-weight:500\">Telephone Country Code<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"tplpdf_p1_main_b9_p\">The telephone country code for the United Kingdom is +44.&nbsp;&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"tplpdf_p1_main_b10_b has-large-font-size\" style=\"font-style:normal;font-weight:500\">Electricity<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"tplpdf_p1_main_b11_p\">230 V; 50Hz \u2013 3-pin plug.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"tplpdf_p1_main_b12_b has-large-font-size\" style=\"font-style:normal;font-weight:500\">Tap water<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"tplpdf_p1_main_b13_p\">Tap water in London is safe to drink unless there\u2019s a sign saying not to (e.g., on trains) and widely available. The water quality is strictly monitored and meets European standards.&nbsp;&nbsp;<\/p>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-group has-global-padding is-layout-constrained wp-block-group-is-layout-constrained\">\n<p class=\"tplpdf_p2_main_b14_b has-large-font-size\" style=\"font-style:normal;font-weight:500\">Public Transport Info<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"tplpdf_p2_main_b15_p\">London boasts one of the most extensive transportation networks in the world, making it easy to get around. London&#8217;s black cabs and private ride-hailing services like Uber are popular choices for getting around the city. Cycling has also become increasingly common, with many dedicated bike lanes and rental schemes.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"tplpdf_p2_main_b16_p\">London&#8217;s public transport operates under Transport for London (TfL), which manages all services, including buses, trains, trams, and river services.&nbsp;&nbsp;<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-column mobile-order-0 is-layout-flow wp-block-column-is-layout-flow\">\n<p class=\"tplpdf_p2_main_b17_b has-large-font-size\" style=\"font-style:normal;font-weight:500\">Medical<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"tplpdf_p2_main_b18_p\">The NHS (National Health Service) provides free and subsidised treatment for people who live in the UK. International students may be entitled to NHS treatment if they are enrolled in a course lasting six months or more. If their course is less than six months long, they may still be entitled to get treatment under the NHS if they are from a country that has a health agreement with the UK.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"tplpdf_p2_main_b19_p\">To receive any treatment through the NHS, students must first register with a doctor (GP). You should register with a local GP as soon as you have a permanent address\u2014and not wait until you are ill. To find your local GP, students can call the NHS direct on 0845 46 47 or visit their website.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"tplpdf_p2_main_b20_p\">If students are not entitled to NHS treatment they will have to pay the full cost of any treatment they receive in the UK. This can be expensive, so make sure you have medical insurance covering you while living abroad.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"tplpdf_p2_main_b21_p\">If students are unable to register with a GP or cannot get an appointment that suits them, they can visit the Soho health centre on Frith Street. Opening hours are Monday to Friday from 08.00 to 20.00 and from 10:00 to 18:00 on weekends and bank holidays (excluding Christmas day). There is a consultation charge of GBP 35 for non-EU students.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-group has-ec-grey-5-background-color has-background has-global-padding is-layout-constrained wp-container-core-group-is-layout-9d79bedb wp-block-group-is-layout-constrained\" style=\"border-style:none;border-width:0px;border-radius:9px;padding-top:var(--wp--preset--spacing--m);padding-right:var(--wp--preset--spacing--m);padding-bottom:var(--wp--preset--spacing--m);padding-left:var(--wp--preset--spacing--m)\">\n<p class=\"tplpdf_p2_main_b22_b has-large-font-size\" style=\"font-style:normal;font-weight:500\">Useful Links<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"tplpdf_p2_main_b23_a has-rich-black-color has-text-color has-link-color wp-elements-3ba8876477665a4a60a4cfe1d9fa5202\" style=\"text-decoration:underline\"><a href=\"https:\/\/tfl.gov.uk\/\">Planning your travel in London<\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"tplpdf_p2_main_b24_a has-rich-black-color has-text-color has-link-color wp-elements-a1cbd38fd382e821581e557b66becb22\" style=\"text-decoration:underline\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.thetrainline.com\/\">Travelling outside of London by train<\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"tplpdf_p2_main_b25_a has-rich-black-color has-text-color has-link-color wp-elements-07257676414ebfaeb1c495f8741245cc\" style=\"text-decoration:underline\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.theatreticketsdirect.co.uk\/\">Theatre Tickets<\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"tplpdf_p2_main_b26_a has-rich-black-color has-text-color has-link-color wp-elements-acc34cc23665c4107344ebe41f9a6b07\" style=\"text-decoration:underline\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.visitlondon.com\/things-to-do\/shopping\/market#EFhrwh0kfARREKlJ.97\">Markets in London<\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"tplpdf_p2_main_b27_a has-rich-black-color has-text-color has-link-color wp-elements-2f112203a1af18a5f921601724c758bc\" style=\"text-decoration:underline\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.bbc.com\/weather\/2643743\">Weather in London<\/a><\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-group alignfull mobile-horizontal-padding-0 has-global-padding is-layout-constrained wp-block-group-is-layout-constrained\" style=\"margin-top:var(--wp--preset--spacing--m);margin-bottom:var(--wp--preset--spacing--m)\">\n<div class=\"wp-block-columns alignwide mobile-gap-3 mobile-column-gap-3 is-layout-flex wp-container-core-columns-is-layout-83eb4a23 wp-block-columns-is-layout-flex\" style=\"margin-top:0;margin-bottom:0\">\n<div class=\"wp-block-column has-warning-disabled-background-color has-background mobile-order-0 mobile-vertical-padding-4 mobile-horizontal-padding-2 is-layout-flow wp-block-column-is-layout-flow\" style=\"border-radius:16px;padding-top:var(--wp--preset--spacing--l);padding-right:var(--wp--preset--spacing--l);padding-bottom:var(--wp--preset--spacing--l);padding-left:var(--wp--preset--spacing--l)\">\n<div class=\"wp-block-group alignfull is-layout-flow wp-block-group-is-layout-flow\">\n<h4 class=\"wp-block-heading tplpdf_p2_aside3_b1_h3\" style=\"margin-bottom:var(--wp--preset--spacing--m)\">British Public Holidays<\/h4>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"tplpdf_p2_aside3_b2_h5 has-large-font-size\">Public holidays falling on a weekday<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"tplpdf_p2_aside3_b3_p\"><strong>2026: <\/strong>01 Jan, 03 Apr, 06 Apr, 04 May, 25 May, 31 Aug, 25 Dec, 28 Dec<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-column is-vertically-aligned-stretch flex has-pale-blue-background-color has-background mobile-order-0 mobile-vertical-padding-4 mobile-horizontal-padding-2 is-layout-flow wp-block-column-is-layout-flow\" style=\"border-radius:16px;padding-top:var(--wp--preset--spacing--l);padding-right:var(--wp--preset--spacing--l);padding-bottom:var(--wp--preset--spacing--l);padding-left:var(--wp--preset--spacing--l)\">\n<div class=\"wp-block-group is-vertical is-content-justification-left is-layout-flex wp-container-core-group-is-layout-c6e5b353 wp-block-group-is-layout-flex\" style=\"border-radius:0px;min-height:100%\">\n<div class=\"wp-block-group has-global-padding is-layout-constrained wp-block-group-is-layout-constrained\">\n<h4 class=\"wp-block-heading tplpdf_p2_aside4_b1_h3\" style=\"margin-bottom:var(--wp--preset--spacing--m)\">Visa Requirements<\/h4>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"tplpdf_p2_aside4_b2_p\">International students studying in London will likely need a visa, depending on their country of origin and the length of their stay.
