Student life

Northeastern University London is based in central London’s St Katharine Docks. The location combines unrivalled views of London and the Thames within a vibrant waterside environment, all in the centre of historic London, where there really is something for everyone.

Living and studying in England’s capital city provides students with a wealth of culture, history and activities. Theatres, world-famous galleries, concerts, comedy, heritage sites, museums, jazz clubs and open-air cinemas are just the tip of the iceberg in this vibrant city, making it the perfect place for students to explore.

The city is also home to the UK’s financial and commerce sectors, the law profession, cultural organisations and creative businesses. However, it’s not all high-rise buildings and sight-seeing, London also has over 3000 parks, making it one of the greenest cities in Europe and perfect for students to get away from the hustle and bustle of the city and relax for a few hours.
