Amsterdam / Cafe

Cosy place and simply the best coffee in town.

London / Transport

The number 9 bus is the last of London’s old Routemasters. It’s a reminder of how far London has come over the years both in technology and design. The route itself is also one of the Heritage routes going past all of London’s key attractions such as Trafalgar Square, Piccadilly Circus, Hyde Park Corner and the Royal Albert Hall and the buses are still run by a traditional conductor which is fun and keeps things personal. It is a quintessential London journey.

Amazing setting with a nice chill garden and really good drinks

Bristol / Bar

Great selection of beers downstairs, with eclectic & lively resident DJ. Amazing pizza and a candlelit eating/sitting area upstairs. Bonus garden terrace out back.

Milan / Museum

"I believe we are at a time in society where open and honest communication is not only necessary, but revolutionary. When governments and political systems are no longer a reference point for progress, we look to other places, such as creative institutions, to facilitate that dialogue. Our aim is to change the definition of what it is to be a cultural centre; the Triennale will be a place of reflection and debate, connected with the contemporary culture in a dynamic way that offers new point of view on topics that lie at the very core of our global society." Stefano Boeri, President, 2018

New York / Other

The light in New York City never ceases to inspire. Walking around early on a sunny morning and looking at the rays of light dispersed through the windows of tall buildings makes me want to scream "New York, I love you!" over and over again.

London / Bookstore

A very good selection of non-fiction, essays, and rare books. The Japanese book collection is gorgeous!

Dublin / Pub

This pub represents to me what Dublin is all about. Within these four walls you can find all sorts of people from Bono to a homeless person. This is what makes Dublin different, the non-exclusion, non-classes and its vibrant pub culture. They serve arguably one of the best pints of Guinness in Dublin and make a nasty delicious toast.

Berlin / Restaurant

Italian Cuisine with a modern twist in a cozy atmosphere. Tip: Try the pasta with figs.

'Matthew's classwork has been of an excellent standard this term, reaching Level 2 in both Reading and Maths, and yet his progress is being hindered by his constant chatter with those around him. Having started the year extremely positively, he has become increasingly less focused on his work and more and more preoccupied with playtime.'
