ARE YOU LOOKING TO MAKE LONDON YOUR HOME?

London is a vibrant city full of countless attractions for the ambitious supply teacher to pursue in their spare time.

Believe it or not, popular activities among those living in London include summer swimming sessions in one of London’s outdoor pools or Lidos, jogging round London’s many parks which provide a welcome oasis from the industrial landscapes.

LIVING IN LONDON: THE CULTURAL CAPITAL

As London is the capital city, it is home to all sorts of people from all over the world and has a large number of language courses – perfect for brushing up on anything from French to Arabic!

When walking around London’s more touristy areas it is often difficult to spot anyone speaking English amongst all the photo snapping tourists, making it a truly wonderfully diverse place to live.

If you love theatre are are living in London, you will no doubt become a frequent visitor to the West End and National Theatre. Theatre tickets don’t have to cost an arm and a leg, as organisations such as the TKTS booth in Leicester Square and websites such as London Theatre Direct can help you see productions for less.

  • If you are looking to move in quickly you can use websites such as ArriveHomes to find a room in a shared house.
