Accommodation
Host familyOne of the best ways of immersing yourself in English culture during your stay in London is to live with a host family. In this way, you will learn about the English way of life by sharing in the daily experiences of the family and you will also have the opportunity to practise your English daily outside of class in informal, authentic contexts. Our partner school carefully selects host families, who generally live around 60 minutes away from the school. You will sty in a single room with half board provided.
Residence (from 18 years old)
Unique to London, St. Giles offers its students onsite accommodation on the upper floors of the school, in single or double rooms with breakfast or half-board. This option is extremely practical and allows students to get to know each other, and to sleep in a little more in the mornings…
Hotels
A range of hotels is available to satisfy all tastes and budgets.
Leisure
The school provides a monthly program that informs students of the cultural (theatre, concerts, dance, opera, etc…) and other events going on in London. There is also a film shown each week on a large screen. On Fridays, teachers and students meet in a traditional pub. Discos are organised on a boat that cruises the River Thames. Outside of London, there are excursions to discover Oxford, Cambridge, Stratford-upon Avon and other places of interest.At a glance
