Personal comments
The best place to go and to celebrate all night long are the clubs in brick lane, cause they are not that expensive and you can meet lots of young, fashionable and crazy people. Nevertheless, sometimes it's also worth going to the city centre of London, especially when there are special student nights, e.g. in the Sports Cafe near Picadilly.

Personal comments
It was good to have the possibility to chose modules together with english students cause a lot of the teachers were from abroad so if you want to learn the London way of speaking you have to have contact with the students that live in London.
