London
A course in London offers the possibility of combining language training with a visit to one
of the most exciting cities in the world. Our state of the art training centre is ideally situated
in the heart of the City of London; London’s financial district, with its historic buildings, law
courts and head offices of multinational companies.
There are many tourist attractions within walking distance of the centre: St Paul’s Cathedral,
Tower Bridge, the Guildhall, the Museum of London and Borough Market. It is also within
easy reach of the West End theatres, shopping areas and South Bank cultural centres.
London is a vibrant, international city. It offers history, culture,
shopping and entertainment and is at the heart of the global
financial and business world.

Visits:
During your course, there is the possibility of going on a work-related visit with your
trainer. Typical visits include the Bank of England, The Old Bailey, the Civil Courts,
high street retailers or relevant visits to offices or companies so that you can practise
your English in a real situation.
Your trainer will be with you at all times and will give you feedback on any relevant
language points. Visits with your trainer to tourist attractions are also possible!
Social Programme:
Taking advantage of everything London has to offer, the London social programme is
an exciting and essential part of the learning experience. It provides participants with
extended opportunities to use English and to network with fellow business people
in less formal but very ‘real’ situations. Each evening there is a different activity,
each one accompanied by a trainer. Typical activities include: theatre trips, museums
and galleries (entrance is free in London), the London Eye and countless other
possibilities. As Samuel Johnson said; ’A man who is tired of London is tired of life’.
Accommodation:
Our Executive Homestays have been specially selected to provide a high standard
of accommodation in a welcoming family environment. All are situated within easy
reach of the training centre. They provide half-board during the week and full board
at weekends. Each participant has a comfortable study bedroom. Most importantly,
the family provides an ideal opportunity for the participants to have more practice
using authentic language in authentic situations.
We are also happy to recommend hotel accommodation within walking distance
of the training centre or in The West End. We have specially negotiated rates with
some nearby hotels.
