Faraday House<\/h2>\n

The Faraday House is where the London Center is headquartered and where you\u2019ll be taking your classes. This is one of the few buildings in Holborn that remained standing after the London Blitz during World War II. Interestingly, its two halves used to be separate buildings that were constructed in completely different eras and recently connected. There\u2019s a lot of interesting history in the Holborn area to explore, such as Sir John Soane\u2019s Museum (a five-minute walk away), which is one of the most unique \u201chouse\u201d museums you\u2019ll ever visit.<\/p>\n

\"The<\/p>\n

London Markets<\/h2>\n

Go to every market you can!!!! Local market finds are a great addition to your food menu. Borough Market and Camden Market are must-sees in the city. Wander through the booths to enjoy endless samples of amazing meats and cheeses. Every food stand is beautiful enough to post and it’s a fun way to get out of the flat and get some great food! You can also get some shopping done at Camden Market, there are many booths selling jewelry and art.<\/p>\n

\"An<\/p>\n

Endless Opportunities<\/h2>\n

Always take advantage of everything the city has to offer! There are endless opportunities in London, so take advantage of EVERYTHING. As someone that was there in 2020, I was always glad that I did so much in the short time I was in the city. My flatmates and I went to West End shows all the time and planned trips around England and the city almost every weekend. Your classes get you out to the main landmarks of London but there are so many hidden gems around the city, just ask a professor or London Center<\/a> staff for recommendations!<\/p>\n

\"A<\/p>\n

Love London Week<\/h2>\n

With the London Center being in the heart of the city, large events such as Love London Week are great immersive experiences for students to learn more about the culture of London. Love London Week is a week full of various organized tours and activities that you can sign up for through Syracuse London Center<\/a>! You can do things like go on the London Eye, tour the Globe, see a West End show and take a day trip somewhere. It\u2019s included with your student fee and is a great way to explore London before school even starts!<\/p>\n

\"A<\/p>\n

Immersive Courses<\/h2>\n

Whether you are in London for fashion, architecture, or general studies, the London Center has a class for you. With the London Center having a wide selection of courses<\/a> ranging from business to the fine arts, students are able to broaden their education in the heart of London. Furthermore, the London Center is located in Bloomsbury, the academic heart of the city. The Faraday House staff and faculty will always be there to ensure your abroad experience is immersive as well as unforgettable.<\/p>\n
