School of English - London - Kensington
The school can offer you Homestay, Residence, Studio and Hotel accommodation. Please note that Twin Accommodation is only available to two students that come together. The school will always try to place its students as close to the school as possible. Often the accommodation is in walking distance, or you may have a journey by bus or underground, but never more than 30min. This is quite typical for a journey in London as the city is so big.
