  • 13. What was the cost of living and socialising in the area you worked in?

    • I found my room on spare room and it was a 12 minutes cycle to work (definitely recommend as you save on tube fares and you get to work out a little bit).

    5/5
  • 14. What was the Nightlife like in the area you worked?

    • You can find a few fun bars & clubs around Hammersmith!

    5/5
  • 15. Were there many opportunities to get involved in activities outside of work?

    • The work-life balance is great so you can organise your time well enough to do stuff outside work as well.
