This course is designed for learners aged 40+ who wish to combine studying English with spending time exploring the city of London and British culture. Lessons take place in the morning, with excursions on Tuesday, Wednesday and Thursday afternoons, and one full day excursion on Saturday.
On this course, you will:
- Have the opportunity to study with other mature students who have an interest in learning more about London and British culture.
- Go on 6 half-day excursions and 1 full-day excursion.
- Learn about the places you are visiting through structured morning lessons.
- Learn about different aspects of British culture, including culture and customs, etiquette and behaviour, the British class system, art, architecture, the history behind famous gardens, music, food and drink.
- Visit famous, historical places such as English stately homes and castles, gardens, museums, galleries and other places of cultural interest.
Students who are not at the correct level may take a combination of General English in the morning and English & Culture in the afternoon. The price for this is the same as for the full-time English & Culture course.
The Excursion Programme will be decided by the teacher in collaboration with the group, and may include: British palaces and castles, e.g. Hampton Court Palace, Windsor Castle, Kenwood. Gardens, e.g. Kew Gardens. Museums, e.g. The British Museum, the Museum of London. Galleries, e.g. The Courtauld Institute, the National Portrait Gallery. Other places of interest.

There are two types of accommodation you can choose:
1. Homestay
If you want to fully immerse yourself in English culture then you may enjoy homestay accommodation. You will live with a local family with breakfast and an evening meal included. On Sundays, lunch will also be included.
Homestay hosts may be older people whose children have left home, they may be a full family with children, they may be a younger couple or single people: the school has over 200 hosts in the city, so the school will always try to place you in a suitable home.
The homestay department spend a lot of time and care finding the host families and the homestay co-ordinator is in school every day in case you have any questions or difficulties. The school listens to your preferences (some people don’t want to live with pets, for example) and the school can also cater for special diets, e.g. vegetarian or halal.
Most of the homestays are situated in the suburbs and are 20-40 minutes from the city centre by public transport [bus or train]. The school has no homestays in the city centre. All families have been visited by the school and had a security check.

Lorem Ipsum has been the industry’s standard dummy text ever since the 1500s, when an unknown printer took a galley of type and scrambled it to make a type specimen book. It has survived not only five centuries, but also the leap into electronic typesetting, remaining essentially unchanged. It was popularised in the 1960s with the release of Letraset sheets containing Lorem Ipsum passages, and more recently with desktop publishing software like Aldus PageMaker including versions of Lorem Ipsum.
