The Student's Guide to London
About the Book: The Student's Guide to London is the first-ever guidebook for
anybody thinking about studying -- formally or informally -- in the city that
probably attracts more students from more countries than any other city in the
world. Accessible and light-hearted, The Student's Guide to London is
loaded with advice for students who go to London. While college students will
find the book to be indispensable, its insights are equally valuable for high
school students and independent adult travelers.
The Student's Guide to London is published by The McDonald & Woodward Publishing
Company (ISBN 0-939923-80-7). You may e-mail the authors by clicking on the

An important note on Telephone
Numbers: Telephone numbers in England have changed
The new area code for London will be 020. The changes look like this:
Old Number: (0171) 987 6543 --- is now >>
New Number (020) 7987 6543
Old Number:
(0181) 234 5678 --- is now >> New Number (020) 8234 5678
All seven-digit numbers with a 171 area code now have eight digits beginning
with 7. All seven-digit numbers with a 181 area code now have eight
digits beginning with 8. When calling from outside the U.K., do not
dial the the first "0" in the area code.
