London is an exciting place to visit. Do not miss the opportunity to practice and improve your English in such a place. Also, the people are wonderful and you make friends from everywhere. I totally recommend this school. Just a warning, get ready for the hills of the village Hehe. By the way, it is very well connected to the city by public transport. The bus with the oyster card is the best way to get there due to the improvements that are currently being done in the subway. You arrive in about half an hour. I did that on a daily basis.

The people. Luckily, when I arrived, there were not so many Spanish students so I became friends with other foreign students and I practices my language skills. The people were very friendly and very nice, the teachers, the students and my host family.

Try to hook up with other foreign students and avoid Spanish students. Try to speak as much as possible and enjoy the opportunity.

Insider tips about what future students should not miss
If you are Spanish, do not go out with other Spaniards, although it is impossible because the school is full of them in summer and of Italians ... You can learn English, and a lot, in three weeks. And something else, try to think in English.

Insider tips about what future students should not miss
To obtain information on the Internet how to get from the airport to the school or to the host family. From Gatwick it is relatively easy. It is not worth to spend much money for a taxi or a shuttle service! Better save that money for the great things London has to offer ;-)
Other comments
If you want to improve your English quickly, I would recommend to stay with a host family. You do not learn a language in three or four weeks but you can at least learn a lot in a short time.
The leisure activities the school offers are way too expensive. I would rather recommend to organise trips to for example Oxford, Brighton and something like that. I can also recommend the magazine "Time Out" as its website in order to use the time in London! There are a lot of great "free" concerts, events and much more ...
