THE LONDON EXPLORERThe London Explorer is our traditional young learners offering with a twist that it is focused purely on London and learning about the nation’s capital city. Housed in university accommodation, students will have the chance to improve their gener-al level of English whilst learning about the iconic city of London and it’s role as a global leader in music, fashion, arts, sport and modern culture.

Find out more about famous Londoners such as Queen Victoria, Harry Styles, David Beckham, Winston Churchill, The Royal Family and many more. Visit some of London’s well known areas including Camden Town, Oxford Street, Westminster and Chelsea to get a real experience of the city.
