    The Culture

  • 12. Was there a good social scene amongst any fellow placement students/colleagues?

    • For those who were living in London it was a very sociable group, for those like my self, who commute, it was much harder to get involved with the social activities

    3/5
  • 13. What was the cost of living and socialising in the area you worked in?

    • It's central London, everything is expensive. Not much more I can say than that really. We did what we could and still had a good time, don't expect it to be cheap.

    1/5
  • 14. What was the Nightlife like in the area you worked?

    • Several decent pubs and a couple of night clubs gave plenty of opportunity to have a nightlife - providing you had somewhere to stay

    4/5
  • 15. Were there many opportunities to get involved in activities outside of work?

    • Full support from my team to pursue other opportunities within LBG such as shadowing in branch, and the group sports day.
