Living, Laughing, and Loving in London

I studied abroad in London for spring block two of 2022, here are some of my recommendations on how to spend your time there if you are traveling or studying there! I added a star * to the things that are absolute must-dos when you are there :) if you have any other questions about studying abroad in London feel free to reach out to me via email at zoieschwartz03@gmail.com I am a student ambassador for CIEE and am happy to help with anything I can!
