Make the most of your university open day in London

Selecting a university is an exciting – if daunting – time. Not only are you choosing which institution to commit your future learning to, but many will also be visiting cities that they have never seen before. It’s vital that you take the opportunity to make the most of the places you visit, in order to get a feel for what it might be like living there.

For those planning to attend an open day at Middlesex, there are a wealth of opportunities to experience. Set in north London, there’s a huge array of attractions on the doorstep, as well as places to visit further afield. Here are some suggestions of what to do during your stay.

Church Farmhouse Museum

A Grade-II* listed building dating back to the 17th century, Church Farmhouse Museum is a stone’s throw away from Middlesex University’s campus. Hosting exhibitions throughout the year, the venue offers a historical insight into north London.

Kenwood House

Located near Hamstead Heath, this English Heritage site is a spectacular wonder to behold. The villa, which was remodeled in the 18th century, contains a vast array of paintings from old masters such as Rembrant and Turner, as well as a stunning collection of rare Elizabethan portraits.

Keats House

The former residence of poet John Keats, this grand London dwelling has served as a memorial to his talent and work since 1925. Keats House showcases a massive range of material from the poet himself, including letters, books and photographs, as well as holding other poetry-related events in homage to his art.

West End theatres

If evening entertainment is what you’re looking for, then look no further – London’s West End offers some of the most internationally renowned theatre productions around. With dozens of venues to choose from, a walk along Drury Lane, Shaftesbury Avenue and The Strand will leave you spoilt for choice.

The London Eye

Installed on London’s South Bank to mark to millennium, the tallest Ferris wheel in Europe offers unparalleled views of the city. Stunning scenery and a glimpse at London from above make this something not to be missed.

Further afield…

For those staying in London a little longer, the capital’s travel hubs are a gateway to the UK. To the south is Brighton, a nightclubber’s paradise and to the west, there’s Somerset, home to the mystical Stonehenge monument.
