London is one of the most exciting cities for students, but its high cost of living requires careful planning. Accommodation will likely be your biggest expense; consider university halls or private rentals in Zones 3 or 4 to save money. For transportation, a Student Oyster Card is essential, offering a 30% discount on travel. Cooking at home using budget-friendly supermarkets like Lidl and Aldi, along with local markets, will be far cheaper than eating out. Many students work part-time, as the Student Visa allows up to 20 hours per week during term time, which is a great way to earn extra money and gain valuable work experience. Don\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\'t forget to take advantage of the free entertainment London offers, such as the British Museum, Tate Modern, and beautiful parks like Hyde Park. Living in London on a student budget is entirely possible with smart planning, and at Mountenna Edu, we provide pre-departure briefings to help you prepare.
