What makes it 71% Couple-Friendly: A couple can take romantic river-edge walks between campuses, share free art-science exhibits and cafés, yet the mainly academic setting lacks evening entertainment or intimate dining.
Why 2-3 hours visit duration is ideal for couple trip: Enough time for a guided tour, a self-led walk, and a coffee break.
Guided Campus Tour:
Join a 60-minute student-led walk of historic Strand & Bush House or Guy’s Campus.
Tip: Book online at least one day in advance for Mon/Wed/Fri slots at 14:30 or 16:00.
King’s Walks Self-Guided Routes:
Download free maps for loops like “Guy’s to Strand” along the Thames.
Tip: Start near Somerset House for the best river views and photo spots.
Science Gallery London:
Explore free art-science exhibitions like “Quantum Untangled.”
Tip: Arrive on Wed or Fri before 18:00 to catch talks or Friday Late events.
Weston Room Exhibition:
Browse 500 years of maps in a deconsecrated chapel at Maughan Library.
Tip: Pick up the free entry ticket at library reception; go early to avoid queues.
The Shed Café:

Tip: Try the flat-white and grab a window seat for campus views.

Dear King's College London Admission Team I am writing to formally raise my concern regarding the refund of my application fee. Several months ago, I received an email from the university informing me that changes had been made to the programme’s courses. The message also clarified that, with these changes, the degree would no longer qualify me to work as a therapist. On that basis, I decided to...

KCL really needs to sort out their replies to emails/phone calls. For the past few months, I've been emailing the admissions or calling to just understand the requirements of a course, and I've not been given a reply. It's really frustrating and puts me off from replying as it makes me wonder if their communication is poor with actual students who attend the university.

Although happy to be enrolled. I am not capable enough, but this is the rule! We cannot set this precedent for any student! So I will have to study the subjects that I am not able to learn at all, an endless and hopeless cycle. Also, for some lecturer, 3=5or6, 2 missing(unexplained)should be reported, but it seems he does not know that.

Bro I applied to this uni and other higher ranked universities. I got offers and responses from them and kings didn’t. They literally ghosted my application didn’t even give me an offer or a rejection. Insane!!! I contacted them multiple times and emailed them and they still haven’t responded. Literally just took my application fee and ran with it. At least have the decency to send an email reject...

Avoid and save your money. Terrible college when it comes to communication. There's no one to talk to. No phone replies. No one emails back. It's like dealing with a dead wall. Imagine joining a university that has zero communication for student queries. Woukd you give money to such a university? Join a university that cares, responds to queries, and has open communication. Won't recommend.
In summer, walk the riverside loops at sunset. In winter, check Science Gallery hours and warm up with a cafe visit.
