What we like about the school
  • Award-winning language school.
  • Lessons are for 70 minutes, much longer than in most schools.
  • Learning progress guarantee.

Venue: LVC London School of English is located in the city of London, just to the south of the River Thames, about twelve minutes away from London Bridge by bus, or thirty minutes on foot. In the area surrounding the school students will find many shops and city parks, and, despite being outside of the centre core of the city, the school has good connections by public transport to most of London’s biggest attractions. Travel time to Trafalgar Square and Buckingham Palace is approximately half an hour while the Tate Modern and Saint Paul’s Cathedral are about twenty minutes away.

Getting around: Bus lines pass directly in front of the school for quick travel to the city centre. Also, the school is a 20-minute walk from the Elephant & Castle underground (Bakerloo, Northern) and train (Thameslink) stations, ensuring students have access to all the city has to offer as well as the surrounding areas. London Heathrow (LHR) and London Gatwick are the closest airports to the school and travel time by public transport is between 60 and 75 minutes.

The school: LVC London School of English offers a range of English courses suitable for beginners levels and upwards. They have been providing English classes to foreigners for more than a decade, the school is accredited by the British Council, and all of their teachers are native speakers with many years of experience in the field.
