Office facilities

BUNAC's London office is situated a mile north of the famous St Pauls Cathedral and its central location means that it is easy to reach. The Edinburgh office is located on Scotland's most famous street, 'The Royal Mile' and is a home away from home for those participants who decide to work in 'Bonnie' Scotland.

BUNAC's offices in London and Edinburgh act not only as resource centers for job and accommodation hunting but are a social focus point and offer a wide range of facilities to participants working throughout the UK. From fortnightly (once every 2 weeks - you'd better get used to these British expressions!) both offices organize pub nights, day trips to famous cities and landmarks and special events like the popular 4th of July and Thanksgiving party nights.

BUNAC will not only help you work in Britain, but make you feel at home. The offices are staffed with friendly, professional staff, (most of whom have worked abroad themselves) who are always ready to help and offer advice on any aspect of living, working and traveling in the UK.
