    The Culture

  • 12. Was there a good social scene amongst any fellow placement students/colleagues?

  • London is quite expensive, but worth it!

    3/5

  • 14. What was the Nightlife like in the area you worked?
  • Parlour is a must! Beside that, we didn't go out in Canary Wharf, we preferred other areas as they are more interesting in terms of clubs.

    5/5

  • 15. Were there many opportunities to get involved in activities outside of work?
  • Plenty of them! Gym, events, social gatherings, charity... Every week there would be something new organized. Or if you wanted something outside the list, you could always ask and make it happen, people were very open for it.
