If you can, I'd recommend staying at Rdg in either halls or houses as although not at al;l impossible to get from London to Reading, it can take some time and isn't going to be particularly cheap if you have to use the train etc each day for a year or more! Train fair is about £9 return to London Paddington and it takes about 30 mins! However its not just about cost its also about the social experiences that you will have if you live in Reading, however if it is in your best interest to stay in London then you can get to and from Reading each day but I wouldn't particularly recommend it!

There are links from Reading to London Paddington and back literally 4 times an hour, but during rush hour trains get cancelled and urgh it can be a bit manic. Also you wouldn't be able to find affordable accomodation in Zone 1 so you'd need various tube tickets as well.
It would cost you A LOT to get back and forth - if you really have to stay in London (which is gonna cost a heck of a lot more anyway) then make sure you get a National Rail Student Card (costs £20, gives you 1/3 off travel)

personally I think you should stay in Reading. Cheaper, and a lot less manic for you, expecially if this is your first time living away from your home country.

And, yes, I am sure it wont be hard to find vegetarian food - there are veggies in the UK too :biggrin:
