School

A surprising district of the Greater London area, with a history going from the Stone Age to the modern day heroes, of which David Bowie is the best-known player, this part of the city is home to the quintessence of the English soul. Dynamism and tradition go hand in hand in Beckenham, an elegant and green suburb in the south-east of the capital.

Applying the highest standards in teaching and in the choice of its teachers, the Kings London language school proposes high quality courses. In two separate buildings, connected by a modern cafeteria, 18 comfortable classrooms welcome students from throughout the world. Many rooms are equipped with an interactive whiteboard, connected to computers, which allows for a more varied and individualised teaching. Internet is otherwise available via WiFi throughout the school and a computer study centre allows you to work individually on your computer. A well stocked library allows you to borrow books and learning material. Every lunchtime, the cafeteria proposes hot (including halal and vegetarian) meals and a wide variety of drinks and snacks are available throughout the day.

Testimonial

Sabrina de Pierri Rizzello The reason why I chose Kings London was because I wanted to study and live outside of London but also be near London for visits in my free time. I walked all around London. I visited all kinds of attractions and museums. I like the school because it is small, friendly, nice people and a good mix of nationalities. I like the fact that the host, the shops and the school are in the same area. The course is good for me and they monitor your level well. I love British food and British people! The school was really good, the host was perfect — I choose the Homestay Extra self-catering option. I couldn’t dream better than that! I would recommend Kings 100%. In fact I might book another course with my boyfriend next year at Kings.
