London is one of the worlds greatest cities. Everything you could want is here: from some of the most famous attractions in the world, to some of the best food and culture. Stroll through the parks; take in a show; explore Londons 32 boroughs; take a cruise on the River Thames; stare at the art; soak up the history; make a Guardsman smile; and learn English in the capital of England.

Learning English in London is the natural choice. You can be sure that you will use your new English language skills as you explore a really exciting city. Best of all, you can experience all the interesting bits of London but study in the peace and quiet of one of Londons top boroughs.
London has some of the most famous sights in the whole world, but also an almost endless variety of less well-known locations. Old streets, historic churches and grand state buildings contrast with cutting-edge (and controversial) modern architecture. Prestigious old museums compete with funky modern attractions such as the London Eye and the Tate Modern gallery. Centuries of tradition, from the uniformed guards outside Buckingham Palace to the mother of all Parliaments beneath the chimes of Big Ben, are to be found in one of the most multicultural cities in the world.

Its a great place to study, and a great place to enjoy your vacation: the perfect location for a language holiday.
Torbay is a traditional English seaside resort, but our excellent climate, sub-tropical gardens, harbours full of luxury yachts and elegant houses overlooking the sea have given the area the nickname of the English Riviera. The three Riviera towns of Torquay, Paignton and Brixham surround a sun-trap bay lined with sandy beaches. Each town has its own character, and together they welcome 1.5 million visitors from all over the world every year. The Bay is surrounded by stunning countryside and is within easy reach of world-famous sights, such as Stonehenge and the Cornish coasts.

Gozo is Maltas sister island. It is greener, more rural and smaller than Malta and has its own distinct character and relaxed atmosphere. Ghajnsielem is a tranquil and picturesque village within walking distance of Mgarr Harbour where ferries run regularly to and from Malta.
Maltas sister Island of Gozo is just a half-hour ferry ride from the northernmost tip of Malta, but is very different. It is the perfect place to relax and unwind, but still offers plenty of things to do. The islands tranquil towns and villages are picturesque and still uphold many traditions. The countryside has an amazing variety of scenery, from rocky hillsides, past carobs and prickly pears, through quiet valleys to wind-swept cliffs and down to the salt pans and beaches.
