Popular with students

London is a cosmopolitan city, which makes it an attractive place for visitors as there are so many different nationalities living there. There’s a huge foreign student population too, in part due to the quality of education and also because it’s such an exciting city.

London is the ideal place to develop English skills and you can do that with ESL – Language Travel. Here you will receive a first-class English language education – but that's just one part of the experience.

When you study at an English school in London you’ll meet new friends and be able to practise your skills on locals.

Benefits of speaking English

One benefit is you’ll enjoy your time in London more! You’ll be able to speak to people, order things and ask for directions to help you get around. English is the most common second language in international communication and for learning, and you’ll open up a whole new world of opportunities if you can speak it.

Your job and education opportunities will increase vastly as will business openings, because English is so widely used in the commercial world. Developing good English skills will serve you well in all aspects of your life, you just need to get started!
