If you need to find a job that will provide you extra cash, search for it in Easter. Many students who work at restaurants and bars in Kingston go back to their home towns during that vacation period.

Mainly because everything is more expensive than at home. The other factor was, of course, the greater amount of travel and nightlife activites.

was more expensive than at home.
Accessibility of student needs
Second-hand household items
Personal comments
If you plan to make a few journeys by train, buy a "Young Persons Railcard" upon arrival. Also, apply for a "Students Photocard" to be able to purchase discounted tickets on the London public transport.
The cheapest pay-as-you-go mobile seems to be Virgin Mobile.
