Our Docklands Centre, alongside London Kingston, is home to our Discover London Programme.
Our programme consists of exciting walking tours to discover the capital, tuition and engaging activities. It also includes excursions to some of the country’s most popular and recognisable attractions such as Tate Modern and the British Museum.
Those completing a typical two week programme with us will be able to spend one full day in Cambridge, a beautiful city in the countryside known for the top education its University provides. They will also spend one full day in Brighton, a very vibrant and modern seaside city. The programme includes four full-day and two half-day walking tours. Students will arrive on Sunday and their first day (Monday) will be either lessons or a walking tour, as the schedule alternates each week.
