Nine Great Apps for a London Student

Transport

• Citymapper is London’s ultimate transport app, incorporating every mode of transport in the capital and providing step-by-step instructions on how to get to your destination. Live updates, real-time routing, departure boards and much more are all provided.
• Santander Cycles is London’s rent-a-bike scheme, costing as little as £2 per journey, with docks all over the city. By downloading the app, you will receive live information about space availability, save your favourite stations, and track your charges.
• Uber is a taxi app that makes hiring a driver extremely easy. Satellite navigation allows you to see your driver is location in real-time, and charges are much lower than London’s traditional black cabs or minicabs fleet.

Events

• Time Out London means making the best of your time in London and discovering various activities away from your books. The app will update you with the latest gigs, events, bars, restaurants, club nights and film releases.
• Dice FM lets you book tickets for a concert, festival or club easily and safely with little or no booking fees. If you cannot make the concert, there is also an ethical resale section which allows users to trade tickets safely.
• Hidden London allows you to find things to do off the beaten path. Avoid the crowds in popular destinations, and explore a different city side.

Food and Drink

• CityMunch allows you to find great restaurant deals in your area. It checks for offers in real time and sends you vouchers if you want to go, ensuring low costs.
• As a student, you will often need that extra kick to get through the day or night, and the London Coffee Network searches local and independent coffee shops in your area, allowing you to accrue points for future purchases.
• Deliveroo will become one of your best friends, delivering food from some of the best restaurants in the city. Easy, cheap and convenient, you can find the best deals in town and receive your order in 30 minutes.
