With a population of 8 million people from all over

the world and all walks of life, Londons diverse

community has something to offer every visitor.

Whether you want a brand new experience or a

little reminder of home, you will find it in London.

From world-class sporting and cultural events to

the simple pleasures of exploring contemporary

London, your English course will be a springboard

for a memorable stay in this unique city.

Our excellent location, between the financial district and the popular West End, means that you can make the most

of your time in London. We are 10 minutes walk from St Pancras International and also close to other train stations so

you can visit areas of interest outside of London, like Brighton, Cambridge or Oxford.

We recommend a variety of activities so you can practise

English outside the classroom, when you go shopping, go

out to eat or drink, watch a film or a West End show, or

visit one of the many cultural events on offer every day.

All activities are carefully selected to help develop

your English in the birthplace of the English language.

They include a visit to the Houses of Parliament, a

guided walking tour of the City and trips to Camden

Market and many more famous sights.
