London

It’s the year of the 2012 Olympic Games!

Due to the huge demand for London summer schools, combined with demand for accommodation for the Olympics, SummerESL.com is using several London campuses.

Our aim to ensure that you are able to attend a high-quality London summer school.

NOTE: Normally it would be possible to book in March/April.  However, due to the Olympics, we strongly recommend that you book no later than February 2012.

Our London Campuses

All of our London centres are located at university campuses.

This means that they all have modern facilities, including shops, Wi-Fi access, and laundry services.

Of course some features (e.g. accommodation, sports facilities) may be better at one campus than another.

Therefore, if you (or your group) have any special requirements, please contact us so that we can ensure that you get the best option based on availability.

Even so, if you are unable to book immediately, we cannot guarantee that the campus we recommend will still be available.

The only way to ensure places at our London centres is by paying a non-refundable £150 deposit (per person).

English Classes

• All of our London centres are accredited by the British Council.
