The teachers here are qualified and very friendly. Many of my friends are amazed at how fluent I have become so quickly.

Our Leicester Square school enjoys a fabulous location in the heart of London's West End, between the famous landmarks of Trafalgar Square and Leicester Square. Many national celebrations take place in Trafalgar Square and Leicester Square is home to London's biggest multi-screen cinemas, regularly playing host to UK movie premieres. Our school makes it easy to take advantage of all this great city has to offer.

Taking an English course in London is a great way to explore a new city and learn a new language at the same time!

In London there is a temperate climate all year round. The weather can often be unpredictable, so make sure to pack your umbrella, waterproof jacket, t-shirts and flip-flops - you will use them all! The average temperature within the summer months is around the mid 20C's, ideal for enjoying the beautiful Royal parks that are scattered throughout the centre of London. In winter the temperature normally drops to about 5C, so although we don't often have freezing conditions, you might want to warm up over a cup of hot chocolate in the many street cafes or over a drink by a roaring fire in a traditional English pub.
