London is a great city to visit and famous all around the world but why do our students choose to live and study in Liverpool?

Liverpool is smaller than London but it’s a city full of culture, life and friendly people. You can easily walk around the city centre and get to know the different areas whereas London has a population of over 8 million people and often feels crowded. London’s attractions are spread out and you have to use public transport to travel around.

Liverpool is well situated in the North West of England. Due to its location it is easy to visit lots of interesting places such as Manchester, Chester, North Wales, York and the Lake District. Plus London is only 2 hours away by train and you can reach Edinburgh in Scotland in just 3 and a half hours.
