The London Skyline

Student Life in the City
London

North Acton is quiet. That's part of the deal. You get a lower price per week, you're not in the thick of it.
Westfield London is two Tube stops at Shepherd's Bush: food, shopping, cinema, useful.
Ealing Broadway is two stops west: a proper town centre.
The rooftop terrace at The Lyra has London skyline views that cost a lot more in other parts of the city.

The London city guide covers universities, areas, and what to do.
