The Destination
Welcome to London, a city renowned for its history, multiculturalism, and deep-seated love of sport.
Cricket, soccer, rugby, or tennis, Londoners eat, breathe, and sleep sports. Every year, London buzzes with excitement, hosting epic events like the London Marathon, the FA Cup Final, and legendary Wimbledon. The city has also hosted three Olympics, the first in 1908, making it the world's most frequently chosen host city. And nothing rivals the English Premier League, the most-watched sports league in the world, where the country’s top football (soccer) clubs battle it out every season.
When not cheering for the home team, get a history lesson at the British Museum and the Natural History Museum. Snap photos of globally-recognized landmarks like Buckingham Palace, the Tower Bridge, and London Eye. Ride the London Underground and stop to stroll charming London neighborhoods, like the West End and Westminster. Raise your pinkies over afternoon tea and grab a street food snack at the Borough Market, where you can try flavors from all over the world along with local favorites, like fish and chips, bangers and mash, and Yorkshire pudding.
Cultural Awareness
CIEE wants all our students to feel welcomed, supported, and empowered to succeed while studying abroad. Local CIEE staff have provided details about conditions and cultural attitudes that students with specific identities might encounter in London.
