Depends on which area of east London you live in. Blackhorse area is quiet and has an excellent connection from tfl. The area has few shops in close proximity and generally nice and friendly residence.

East London Student Life

The East End is the cultural and creative hub of London that is a particularly popular place for young people, so it’s an ideal area to study and live as a student. There is so much on offer to explore and discover, it will be impossible to get bored!

Cost of Living

London is obviously more expensive than other cities, but it is amazing. The nights out are cheap if you go on a weekday and to a student night- I often use the app Fatsoma. The transport is amazing, it's so cheap

Nights Out

East London certainly knows how to throw an unforgettable night, and unlike the rest of London, you can find great spots which tend to have cheaper entry and drinks. The main neighbourhoods that are guaranteed a good night out are Shoreditch, Hackney and Dalston. The places to go are ever changing so keep your ear to the grindstone as you’ll likely stumble across places and find out about good nights through word of mouth. You can also check out the Fatsoma app, Design My Night and Timeout.

Public Transport

Getting around East London is very easy via public transport; the whole area is well connected by both tube and bus routes. You’ll get to know how it all works pretty quickly but a top tip to make it easier is to download the Citymapper app which tells you the quickest route to get from A to B. Make sure you get an Oyster card and as a student you get 30% off.

Shopping

For all your favourite high street brands, there’s no better place to shop than Westfield in Stratford. It’s huge and will certainly have whatever you are after! East London is a great destination for vintage shopping and markets, which often means your money can go a bit further. Make sure to check out Columbia Road Market on Sundays. It’s an incredible flower market that has an amazing atmosphere. Top tip: if you head towards the end of the day you can often pick up some real bargains. Another house plant, anyone?

Top 10 free things to do in East London

1

Formerly the venue for the London 2012 Olympics and Paralympics, the Queen Elizabeth Olympic Park has award-winning parklands and waterways that are free to visit.

2

In November, head to the capital’s biggest free firework show! Around 100,000 people attend every year. From 12pm, there’s a funfair with entertainment and the main event, the big firework display, is at 8pm.

3

When you are living in London you are spoilt for choice when it comes to live music, but there’s always a ticket to pay for. So here’s our top tip... you can catch a free gig at Rough Trade on Brick Lane! Keep an eye on their events line-up for a schedule of exciting up-and-coming bands.

4

London’s newest and biggest wetlands is free to visit. Escape the craziness of the city, stretch your legs and find some peace and quiet amongst nature that’s right on your doorstep.

5

East London is known for its array of street art which is easily some of the best in the world! Go down pretty much any road in Shoreditch, Bethnal Green, Hoxton or Hackney to find some amazing artwork.

6

Mudchute is a community working farm set in 32 acres of countryside that is free to enjoy. So take some time away from the books and get a much needed animal fix; it’s been proven to help with stress after all.

7

God’s Own Junkyard is an iconic neon light art shop in Walthamstow. The owner and creator Chris Bracey has been THE neon man for over 37 years, creating new and used neon fantasies. Go and have a browse for free (Psst! It's an Instagrammer's dream).

8

The Museum of London tells the history of the capital from the first settlers to modern times. And like many of the great museums in London, it offers absolutely free entry.

9
Watch the London Marathon

Every April, the famous London Marathon takes place, where 43,000 runners take part in a 26.2 mile race. The route goes through parts of East London, so get your vocal cords warmed up and a plate of orange slices at the ready and be one of the thousands of spectators that create an amazing atmosphere for the runners!

10

Okay, so this is not exactly free but if you have £3.50 on your Oyster Card, you can ride on the Emirates Air Line cable car. It glides above the Thames where you get the best aerial views of London travelling between Greenwich Peninsula and the Royal Docks.

My time living in...

My time living in East London has been an extraordinary adventure filled with diverse culture, vibrant neighborhoods, and a unique blend of old and new. From the moment I arrived, I knew I was in for a truly special experience. One of the most remarkable aspects of living in East London is the rich cultural diversity. The area is a melting pot of different ethnicities, languages, and traditions, creating an atmosphere of inclusivity and openness. This cultural tapestry is reflected in the various markets, festivals, and events that celebrate the community's heritage. East London's neighborhoods each have their own distinct personality. From the trendy and artistic streets of Shoreditch to the historical charm of Whitechapel, every corner of East London offers something different to explore and enjoy. I've loved wandering through the markets, trying unique foods from around the world, and discovering hidden gems in the form of street art and local businesses. read more

East London is an expensive place to live in. So cost of living could go very high. However, being a student, with some planning, the cost of living can be controlled. The city has well netted network of public transport, grocery stores fairly reasonable, and if you chose to live in student hall, your amenities are generally included in the rent. Overall, it's an expensive place to be, but with proper planning, cost can be controlled. read more

East London is a vibrant and exciting part of Greater London that offers a unique blend of history, culture, and diversity. The area is home to a wide range of attractions, including iconic landmarks like the Tower Bridge and the Olympic Park, as well as trendy neighborhoods like Shoreditch and Hackney. The food scene is fantastic, with a wide range of cuisines available, from traditional British fare to international cuisine. The nightlife is also vibrant, with plenty of bars, clubs, and live music venues. The area is well-connected by public transport, making it easy to explore the rest of London. Overall, East London is a fantastic place to live, work, and play, and I highly recommend it. read more

Stratford is a wonderful place to live in. All basic necessities are within close radius and travel is so convinient because there are so many different tube and train lines. The usual concern is safety, but that is only concerning when one is living away from the main stratford area, towards mile end or farther east. Anything that is within a 10 minute walk of the stratford station is a wonderful place to stay in. read more
