With sites such as Buckingham Palace, The British Museum, St. Paul's Cathedral and The Tower of London all within a 30-minute journey of the school's front doors, students are kept busy inside and outside of the classrooms whilst reaching their language goals with EF London. All of London's airports are easily accessible via train.
