This page explains how you can apply to come to the United Kingdom during your gap year.
You must obtain a visa to enter the United Kingdom as a gap year entrant before you travel here. To obtain it, you should apply to the British diplomatic post in the country where you live.
For details of the requirements you must meet as a gap year entrant, see Eligibility.
You cannot apply for a gap year visa if you are already in the United Kingdom under a different category of visa. You will need to return to your home country and make your application from there.
