Welcome to London
No place is richer in the good things in life than London. It is the largest city
in the European Union, and often called the most cosmopolitan city in the world.
It is the capital of a Kingdom, an Empire, and a Commonwealth. It is the pre-eminent
center of global finance and commerce. It is the city of Buckingham Palace, St Paul's
Cathedral, and the Globe Theatre, but also of the most spectacular and adventurous
contemporary architecture. It is the home of Chaucer, Shakespeare, Keats, and Dickens,
but also of the BBC and the largest collection of movie post-production facilities
in the world. It is home to tennis at Wimbledon, cricket at Lord's, and football
at Wembley, but it is also the starting point of the 2007 Tour de France, and the
designated venue of the 2012 Olympic Games.
A city of eight million people straddling the River Thames, London covers more
square miles of elegant squares, green parks, museums, monuments and fashionables
shopping streets than you could hope to explore in a lifetime. Over a hundred live
theatre companies, five major orchestras, plus several opera and ballet companies
make London their home. The dozens of performances, concerts and recitals all over
the city every day make London the cultural center of Europe. The British Museum,
the Queen's Gallery, Somerset House, the Tate Galleries and the National Gallery
provide opportunities to view many of the world's great art treasures. Over two
hundred other museums house some of the finest collections.
London still retains age-old traditions and culture. It is also a leading European center of business,
finance, communications, theatre, and the arts - for Hult students, London is an open classroom.
Within walking distance of Bloomsbury, some of the richest educational resources in the world are
available to complement your studies and enrich your lives.
Step out, explore and experience London. It is truly an education without boundaries.
