Apply for housing early if cost is an issue becuase it is much less expensive, however the University is not very central to London so you may prefer to lie outside of halls to have the full London experience.

Never use the subway if you want to save a little bit of money, London buses are very handy.. Never let yourself down London is a good place to experience life , try to balance work and fun if you want to remember good memories when you go home

Personal comments
Too much paper work and unorganised staff. Easy hand ins of academic work should go smoother and in the contempory age we're in things should be able to be done more over the internet. If hireing PhD students to lecture on seminars, make sure they have an open mind to make sure students are not graded porely due to different views than the seminar lecturer.
