The school has two fine campuses close to the heart of London, each offering a variety of courses designed for serious adults. Its range of courses includes General English, Examination Preparation, English for Business and a number of other specialised programmes, such as Courses for Lawyers, Individual Tution, Communication Skills Training, Online and Distant Learning and so on.
Both of the schools are situated in excellent locations – close to the centre of London, but just far enough away from the busy centre to give both sites a relaxed feel.

And just 5 minutes walk away from the school is one of Europe's largest urban shopping centres, the Westfield centre, with 265 shops offering thousands of leading brands including Tiffany & Co., Kurt Geiger, Versace, Louis Vuitton, DeBeers.
The general and examinations centre at Westcroft Square is also located in a high-quality residential area, between Chiswick and Hammersmith. There is a wide selection restaurants, cafes, bars and shops nearby, and the school is just a short walk from the River Thames. Stamford Brook underground station is just around the corner and the journey into the centre of London takes less than 20 minutes.
