<p>Earning the title of the best student city in the world (according to the <a href="https://www.topuniversities.com/city-rankings/2019">QS Best Student Cities 2019</a>), <a href="https://www.topuniversities.com/university-rankings-articles/qs-best-student-cities/london">London</a> has undoubtably captured the heart of many students around the world. Containing no less than 18 world leading universities, more than its fair share of famous landmarks, and enough history to amuse history buffs for a lifetime, London really does have something for everyone.</p>
<p>In this article we have done our best to take some pictures which truly capture why London is the best city to study in (although pictures can barely do it justice). Read on to find out why you should study in London!</p>

1. Because you can buy cute vintage clothes in Camden Market

*What do you mean he’s a fictional character?
