My niece attends this school and she loves it. I visit the school when I come to collect her and…read moreI've attended a few of the school events It is a small school, because there is one class per year. I think smaller schools are much better for children's educational and personal development. There is a really good relationship between the school staff and the parents. The teachers really care about the children's education and development and it is just a thriving school community. Princess Diana actually came to the school in 1983 to open an new wing of the school that had been recently built, so this school has got interesting history too!

She has explained my child's progress clearly to me and has an excellent method of analysing students weakpoints and tackling them. Would definitely recommend. Many locals in the area know of her and have recommended me to her before.

Boy has this place changed! There is a really neat cafe on the right as you come in. The staff are…read morereally helpful. On the left is the information area where you can find out about all the courses that the college has to offer. The library is past the security barrier and you need a Birkbeck student ID or pay a daily fee of £6 to gain access. Very bright. Much better then it was 20+ years ago.

Hmm. Birkbeck. I…read moretake a couple of classes here. The place is nice in the kind weather, but seems like such a grey campus for being so close to several nice squares (especially Russell Square). The quad area outside of the main building is a nice place to dodge errant tennis balls being thrown around and take a seat on the green grass. Eat a sandwich if you want to. No one's pressuring you to not eat your sandwich wherever you want to eat it. You can eat your sandwich standing or sitting, no judgement here. Speaking of food, outside SOAS there is a vegetarian krishna food table that gives away lots of food for free every day. You can just stroll on up to it (or the que) and they give you a huge plate of food. Based on every single person telling me they didn't like it, though, I'm staying away from there. To some people, free is free so you might want to try it. The area around the aforementioned Russell Square is my favorite part of Birkbeck rather than the area around the main building. My classes are 3 hours long, so when there is a 20 minute break in the class, we all stroll out into the square and grab some grub at the Russell Square Cafe. It's incredibly peaceful. I like donuts. Birkbeck's main building has a cafe on the ground floor, but the prices aren't so good. So I'd recommend bringing food onto campus (Russell Squ cafe is also a bit pricey). There are many coffee shops leading up to the school. That's another thing, Birkbeck is in the center of London, easily accessible via underground by way of the Russell Square and Goodge Street tube stations. So if you're looking for a centrally located school, LOOK NO FURTHER. Stop looking. I take classes at both London Met and Birkbeck; and everything at Birkbeck is so much nicer. But that's to be expected. #TeamBirkbeck

I have two daughters at Sunnyhill school, the eldest is in year 6 and has been at the school since…read moreNursery so my involvement stretches back to 2002. Throughout this time my experience has been positive and I have nothing but praise for the school. The teachers are genuinely concerned for the learning potential and welfare of the children and seem able to stretch the more able children while helping those who might fall behind. The amount of extra curricular activities and diverse school trips is amazing and really expands the children's horizons. Discipline seems to be taken very seriously and there have never seemed to be any issues about behaviour. The school is a real community school that has an incredibly welcoming atmosphere, to children and parents alike. My youngest child is still in the Nursery and I'm waiting to hear if she has a place in Reception, if she hasn't I will be devastated as I can't imagine a better school, and it has become part of our lives over the last 8 years!

Fantastic university and obviously I'm saying that because I went here.... however I have also…read moresince attended King's (because everyone needs two degrees and a lot of debt) and came to the conclusion that I was right all along: UCL is pretty splendid. (King's seemed less friendly and far less compact.) Everything's within a fairly small radius right in the centre of London, the union is good, the halls are authentically awful and thereby breed fantastic friendships based on 35 people sharing a single 2m square kitchen for a year. Even as a non-student, hanging out in the quad is a nice place to be. At Christmas they have carols and things and it's all very wintry and beautiful. Number 2 in the world this year or something, so can't be bad.

Founded in 1597, with roots in and based on the tenets of the Freemasons, a meeting place for the…read moreoriginal Invisible College, and precursor to The Royal Society is Gresham College. A centre of higher learning that admits no students nor offers any degrees, Gresham College is a bit of centuries old London history that is still active, free and open to the public. It offers regular lectures to all who are interested, in its schools of; Astronomy, Divinity, Geometry, Law, Music (sometimes including a live rendition of the music being discussed), Physic and Rhetoric. To me this is one of the ultimate hidden gems that London offers. While the college itself is a marvel (the concept that still persists, as well as the various buildings it inhabits), the real gem is the lectures that are on offer. Truly marvellous that some of the top professors in the country are willing to dig into their time and give public lectures about some very interesting subjects indeed. My tastes have steered me to the lectures dealing with Astronomy, Divinity and Rhetoric, but surely there is something for everybody here. The Q&A sessions after these informal lectures are very insightful. The audience generally consists of various intelligencia as well as experts in the field being discussed, so the questions asked are very knowledgeable and only improve your understanding of the lecture. Pros - high quality of lectures - interesting and diverse subjects on offer - free and open - good location - lovely old buildings/halls (one was even held in St Paul's Crypt) Cons - lectures can fill up fast at the smaller venues like Staple Inn Hall and Barnes Inn Hall, so you may end up standing.

The great thing about this venue is that they do lunchtime lectures. That last just long enough for you to go out to and get back to your desk afterwards. The seating is on a first come first served basis and as the other reviewers have pointed out they are becoming very popular. This is in part due to the high calibre names that they get to present. There is a lecture for everyone here. My favourites are the science and nature ones and they occur on a weekly basis.

I too am from the United States and I have nothing but admiration for the school where my four nieces and nephews have been blessed with amazing educations. IN fact, I have been so impressed that over the years I recommended it to other Americans moving to London for work. Two couples who have had their children there (family of five and four) were very happy. In fact, one family left London to return to the US and missed the school so much that they returned to UK. All of those children are grown now and are in excellent schools, two of them at Westminster. By the way, all but two of the eight children I personally know are all...wait for it...BOYS. In addition, I have had the true pleasure of watching several Heathside Preparatory School musical concerts over the years and seen those children perform admirably. All are supported so beautifully by the teachers that you can see the children's confidence emerge more and more as they play solo or in concert. It is very moving.
