I'm studying abroad for a shortened semester, and my classes will be held at the University of London. My flat (dorm or whatever) is in Kensington. So far, I have been told to bring lots of money since Kensington is supposedly one of the wealthiest areas of London. IDK? I won't be bringing a bike, but I will get an unlimited Tube, bus, and night bus pass when I arrive.
Any recommendations for cheap restaurants, art gallery's, museums, venues, clubs, cheap pubs, shops, etc and anything worth seeing? I plan on seeing Ruiner at the Underworld on the 16th. Seeing an American hxc band in London should be interesting. I mainly listen to indie bands, but I do like hxc.
Also, I would like to check out local graffiti and other local art. Any good spots?
I leave Wednesday around 1pm from San Francisco, so that puts me on the ground at about 7:30 am in London on Thursday.
Anything I should be aware of?
