We suggest that you bring some of your money in Sterling Travellers’ Cheques as well as some cash for the first few days. It is possible to change money at banks, post offices and bureaux de changes, all of which are close to the school. It’s best to ask your bank for their correspondent bank in London, as this information may be useful.

London is famous for many things, one of them is its changeable weather. It can go from bright warm sunshine to cold heavy rain in a matter of hours. Therefore, we suggest that a jumper, waterproof jacket and an umbrella are essential items! 

It’s also a good idea to have comfortable walking shoes, as there are many places to visit and explore. The maximum temperature in summer is usually 30°C, and in winter the minimum temperature is 0°C, although it can get colder at night time. 

Therefore, in the winter months, we recommend you bring a warm coat, scarf and gloves.

You should ensure that anything you bring to the UK, such as a hairdryer, etc, is compatible with the UK 3 pin 230V AC 50Hz electrical supply. EC equipment will work with a travel adaptor, which is widely available.

We advise students to buy a copy of one of the London Street Guides such as ´A-Z´.

We very much hope that your trip to London will go according to plan, but in the unfortunate event that you have to cancel or cut your English Course short due to an unforeseen incident, having insurance will provide you with peace of mind. Therefore, we have partnered with an insurance company to provide you with travel insurance whilst you study your English Language Course with us. We’re working together to ensure you have the best insurance while studying English in London.

You need to take out private student travel insurance before you arrive in the UK. This also means that you’ll be covered for medical expenses, loss or theft of property, and travel expenses before departure. It may even cover you if you have to cancel your English language course for an insured reason – eg. if an illness or serious accident prevents you from travelling.

You can take out your insurance policy or take out the insurance recommended by Nacel English School, Studentguard+, which has been specially designed for overseas students studying in the UK.

Before booking the Student Travel Insurance policy through us we recommend that you read the following documents so you understand the full details of the benefits and exclusions that apply to the policy.
