London is so cheap!

Are you visiting London this summer? Maybe you are coming to the UK as a tourist or to take an English course at a school like Language in London.

When you pack your suitcase... don't bring with you all the stereotypes about how expensive this city is. The first thing to remember is that all the major museums are free! This is our present to all visitors to London. You can go to the British Museum, British Library, Science Museum, Tate Gallery, National Gallery, Natural History Museum... and not spend one penny!

You should also go to one night of the BBC Proms. This is the biggest musical festival in the world and takes place in the beautiful Royal Albert Hall. Every night there is a different concert, mostly classical, and it costs only £5.

And if you want a taste of real English culture then go to the Shakespeare Globe theatre, where tickets are also only £5. This summer you can see King Lear, A Midsummer's Night Dream and the Merry Wives of Windsor.

As a passionate Londoner, I want our students to experience all these things, which is why our Cultural Experience programme is a language course where all the lessons take place in London's museums and galleries... a great way to be a student and a tourist at the same time.

I'll keep you posted with reports of all the great things we will arrange for our students this summer as extra social activities.

Regards,
Stuart Rubenstein
Principal
