Accommodation

Host family
Living with a host family is a unique opportunity to make the most of your stay. Being constantly immersed in the English language and British culture will allow you to improve your understanding and become more comfortable with the language. You will have a single room and half board is provided. The host families are located around 35 - 60 minutes away from the school.

Student house (recommended 18-25 years)
The student houses proposed are well-located, around 45 minutes by public transport away from the school and from the centre of London. You can stay in a single or double room. You will share the common rooms and facilities (bathrooms, fitted kitchen, living room with television, washing machine) with the other residents. Bedlinen is provided. The student houses are non-smoking, no meals are included.

Superior residence (recommended 18-25 years)
Close to all types of public transport, our partner school also proposes staying in superior residences. They are situated at the heart of London, only a stone's throw away from the city's most important attractions and around 30 - 50 minutes away from the school by public transport. Students will stay in a single room with a private bathroom and will share the common areas with the other residents. An Internet connection and a laundry room (paying) are also available for students' use.

During the Olympic Games, which will take place from 5th July to 19th September 2012, the students will be transferred to another residence without any additional charges.

Leisure

When it comes to leisure, everything is possible in London. In Covent Garden, the historic buildings and large squares are home to a wide range of shops, restaurants and bars, for shopping or going out with friends. The British Museum is just around the corner. Enjoy it! Each week, the school offers a varied program of activities and outings in a dynamic group, allowing students to communicate in English in an authentic context while discovering the city’s innumerable treasures.
