London has a little bit of everything for everybody. From the world class museums to the sweeping public parks to the multitude of pubs and theaters, there is always something to do in London no matter what your leisure time interests. You can start by checking out the Tower of London, British Museum, and National Gallery for a fast introduction to the history and culture of the city, and end by taking a long stroll along the River Thames and a ride on the London Eye as the sun sets over the cityscape. Sounds pretty good, right?
Getting around London is no problem at all. The London Tube is the oldest and one of the largest metro systems in the world. Millions of passengers ride the Tube everyday and it will take you most places you need to go in the city quickly and efficiently. There is also a good public bus system and you can always catch a taxi if you’re not feeling public transportation. London has a ton of distinct neighborhoods worth checking out so explore as much of the city as possible as a volunteer abroad in London!
Keep in mind that London is a very expensive city to live in. While your volunteer program in London might cover some part of your room and board, costs of living around town can hike up to take a toll on your wallet. Don’t worry though, if you shop locally and take advantage of all of London’s free entertainment then you should be fine!
