I was in a class of general English so I had to share it with students that were not at my level. But they gave me special exercises and homework for me to practice my advanced level.
Insider tips about what future students should not miss Buy an Oyster! Haha! And most places close really early and that I found annoying... apart from that London it's a wonderful city.

Disliked
The online entry test must be improved in order to better identify one's class. In fact, from the test I had an intermediate level but the level of the class was low for me and then on the second day I moved to the upper intermediate class. The intermediate level class also had people who were beginners, so a lower level class was missing and people from both levels were placed in the same class. In my upper intermediate class we were too many people about 20 people
