Learning doesn't end when lessons finish. You can enjoy your time in London with your fellow course participants while also practising your English in a more relaxed manner
We arrange all the activities for you, and at least one staff member will usually attend social programme events. The walking tours are led by a professional guide. See a selection of photos from our 2023 social programme here .
Relax and enjoy meals, tea and coffee whilst chatting in English with other students in our restaurant and outdoor terrace.
Payments, changes and cancellations
Very occasionally, activities may change or be cancelled depending on the number of clients who wish to participate or weather. We'll tell you in advance if this happens.
Payment is made on the day of the event, usually at the venue. There is no charge for cancelled events.
Less a bar, more a big open garden to socialise with your fellow students and to enjoy the lovely weather.
