From Piccadilly Circus to Kensington Gardens, there are many things to see and do in London, all of which are reachable by the tube (subway). Located in the South Kensington district, CAPA International Education is close to many sites such as the Victoria and Albert Museum, Hyde Park, Natural History Museum, Science Museum, and Covent Garden.
