Accommodations

CAPA coordinates housing for program participants. Students will live in shared apartments with other students enrolled in the program.

Apartments

Furnished apartments are located within Tube (subway) zones 1-2. Students will have easy access to CAPA (no longer than 45minutes to an hour commute) and easy access into to the center of the city. They will share bathrooms, a living room and kitchen, and will also have access to a clothes washer. Students should expect to have one or two direct roommates in their bedroom, and there may be multiple bedrooms in one flat. WiFi is included.

UC Davis reserves the right to change the accommodation location. Should this be necessary, we will arrange alternative lodging. Please note that elevators, air conditioners and other modern conveniences may not be available in all locations.

Excursions & Activities

Excursions out and about in London are an integral part of the program and are covered by the program fees. Additional activities and excursions will be available free or for a low cost through the CAPA London Study Center.

Get to Know Your Destination

Everyone comes to London with a preconception shaped by a multitude of books, movies, TV shows and songs. Whatever yours is, prepare to have it exploded by this endlessly fascinating, amorphous city. You could spend a lifetime exploring it and find that the slippery thing’s gone and changed on you. One thing is constant: that great serpent of a river enfolding the city in its sinuous loops, linking London both to the green heart of England and the world. From Roman times the world has come to London, put down roots and whinged about the weather. There is no place on earth that is more multicultural; any given street yields a rich harvest of languages, and those narrow streets are also steeped in fascinating history, magnificent art, imposing architecture and popular culture. When you add an endless reserve of cool to this mix, it’s hard not to conclude that London is one of the world’s great cities, if not the greatest. (From Lonely Planet England).

Study Abroad Advisory of Student Risk

Participation in this UC Davis Study Abroad program requires travel to and extended living in a foreign location(s) abroad. UC Davis Study Abroad endeavors to reduce and mitigate risk wherever possible.  However, the environments and risks associated with living in these locations are substantially different than those found during a regular course of study at UC Davis. All participants must download and review the following information prior to departure. Any questions should be directed to the Program Coordinator.
