With around 8.9 million residents, London is Europe's largest city and, with over 400,000 students across some 40 institutions, home to the continent's biggest student population. Student districts like alternative Shoreditch, music-driven Camden and multicultural Brixton shape the nightlife, alongside vast parks like Hyde Park for open-air days. Around a third of the students come from abroad, making the city one of the most international university hubs anywhere.
