We are always on the look out for providing you with the best English courses and services in London. That is why we are pleased to announce that we will be working with Saint George International a school based right in the centre of London. We already work with 12 language schools around London, so you might wonder why we would want to work with another one?! The reason being is that we believe that Saint George International offers a couple of things that other schools don’t.
Firstly where as other schools in the industry might claim to be in ‘Central’ London, Saint George International, really is. They are based about a hundred metres from Oxford Circus, the heart of London’s shopping / tourist area. I can promise you being a Londoner myself, this really is Central London. Secondly SGI is realtively quite a small English school, meaning not only are there just 12 students in a class but there are only around 150 students at capacity. This means you get a quality service from both the fully-qualified and motivated staff but from the support team as well.

The Euro Pride events to celebrate the gay community across Europe come to a climax this weekend in London. On Saturday the big finale will include an outrageous parade through the streets of the capital.
If you were thinking of going shopping this weekend, and don’t want to get caught up in the event you can forget about going to central London. The parade will cover the whole of Oxford Street, Regent Street, Picadilly Circus, Whitehall and culminate at Victoria Embankment! 80 floats, 200 costumed groups and thousands of individual paraders are set to join in the gay fest. A quarter of a million people turned up in 2005 and the organisers are expecting up to half a million gays and lesbians to come this year!
According to Totally London ‘London Pride has been taking place every summer for over 30 years, is run by volunteers and is a registered charity. Since the organisation began the gay, lesbian bisexual, transsexual, transgender community has grown significantly in strength, and Pride is committed to raising awareness and funding for this community.’
