Being in a major metropolitan area, LSE is easily accessible by bus,
subway (called the tube) and walking. There are several student housing
options through LSE, all of which are dormitory style and very small.
In addition, there are some great communities (e.g., The William
Goodenough College - "college" in England means a place for students to
live). I lived in the latter and it was wonderful. They have a very
diverse community, solely made up of post-graduate students, ranging in
age from 23 to 60 with the majority being 23 - 40. There are cultural
events each week, opportunities to get involved in clubs (football,
sailing, dancing, cooking, cycling, hiking, martial arts, movies, books,
etc.)
There are restaurants all over the place. In addition the Goodenough
College had its own dining hall which was very reasonably priced and
cafeteria-style, serving breakfast, lunch and dinner. There was also a
pub-style cafe on the grounds. Deli-style sandwiches as well as a hot
meal and any beverage (alcoholic or non) you want are available for
lunch. Each evening, it acted more as a pub and there was some form of
entertainment most eves.
Living in London provides a wonderful cultural experience as well. You
can get anywhere by way of public transportation or walking. The bus
system is fabulous, although traffic leaves a great deal to be desired.
As with any major metroplolitan area, it is always wise to be aware of
the less safe areas. For the most part, it is a safe city. As a
female, I took precautions of walking with friends at night, especially
in areas I wasn't familiar. However, that wasn't always possible.
There were several times I had to walk back from the tube to my place of
residence at night by myself. For the most part, I felt safe.
