Life in Brentford

Brentford, a suburban town in West London, is conveniently located within 30 minutes of Central London, with a direct train running from Brentford Station to London Waterloo - but you don’t need to necessarily travel into the city to have a good time.

Brentford offers a range of luxurious activities for students looking to enjoy a taste of the high life. One of the most popular attractions in the area is the Brentford Marina, home to a range of upscale restaurants and cafes, offering gourmet cuisine and fine wines, as well as boutique shops and galleries with stunning views of the surrounding countryside. 

Another popular activity is to visit the Syon Park estate, a grand stately home with a rich history dating back to the 16th century. Students can take a tour of the magnificent interiors of the house, which include opulent rooms adorned with priceless art and antiques, or stroll through the extensive gardens and parkland, which feature beautiful flower beds, ornamental lakes, and ancient woodlands. The estate also offers a range of exclusive events throughout the year, including outdoor concerts, food festivals, and sporting events.

For students looking for a taste of adventure, Brentford also offers a range of high-end sporting activities, such as golfing at the nearby Wyke Green Golf Club, one of the oldest and most prestigious golf courses in London and paddleboarding along the tranquil River Thames. The area also boasts several luxury spas and wellness centres, offering a range of indulgent treatments and therapies, as well as state-of-the-art fitness facilities, where students can work out and stay in shape.
