Hey you made it!
We’re so excited you’re joining us in Walthamstow. Whether you’re still packing your bags or just arrived in London, this guide has you covered from greeting you at the airport to finding yourself around the local area.
Airport meet and greet
We’re looking forward to welcoming you to campus! If you would like an airport meet and greet, please complete the form below.
Please be aware that this is an airport meet and greet and they will not be able to take you directly to your accommodation. Students would be expected to make their own way to the University.
Navigating the city
Travelling around London may seem daunting but with the right apps, it can be very simple.
TFL App to check live travel updates and plan your route to campus
City Mapper is an alternative travel app to help you navigating buses, trains, and the Tube.
Sign up to a GP
Health comes first, even when you’re busy studying and exploring. To find your nearest NHS GP, you can use the NHS GP Finder. Register online or in person, it’s free for everyone in the UK.
Remember to keep your NHS number safe (you’ll need it for appointments).
Support and Wellbeing
If you ever feel overwhelmed, homesick, or just need someone to talk to about this big move, our Wellbeing and Disability Officer is here on campus for confidential chats and support.
Saving money locally
In Walthamstow and across London, you can save on everything from coffee and cinema tickets to clothes and tech. We’ve rounded up the best student discounts near campus to help you make the most of your money.
You can also sign up to UNiDAYS and Student Beans for instant online and in-store discounts, and don’t forget to flash your student ID whenever you shop or eat out.
