Homestay English learning
Homestay English learning is not just about structured lessons in a classroom situation. A large part of your learning will be during your activities and cultural excursions. At homestay English teaching, we offer excursions as part of your learning English program. We offer a variety of activities and excursions and many students request an excursion to London, during their English homestay. You will be accompanied by your host teacher on all excursions, including London. You will have the opportunity to choose to visit any particular areas of London and your teacher will book advance tickets for any venues that you wish to enter.
Which landmarks to visit?
London is a vast city and there is only so much you can see in one day. However, we do try to ensure that you visit as many famous landmarks as possible. When departing from our Sussex locations you will arrive with your teacher, by train, at Victoria station. The route from Victoria is very straightforward and the first port of call is usually Buckingham palace. We then continue down the Mall which leads us to Trafalgar Square and the National Gallery. If you are interested in art in particular, there are many other galleries in the vicinity, including the National portrait gallery. We then proceeded to Covent Garden which, when the weather permits, can be very animated with street entertainment. Next, we proceed to Westminster to admire the famous Big Ben and Houses of Parliament. Having crossed Westminster bridge, we take a stroll along the South bank. Here, there are many interesting venues such as the London Dungeon, the Millennium wheel, the London Aquarium and the Tate gallery, to name but a few.
There are, of course, many other areas to visit in London such as the Tower of London, Regents Park, Petticoat Lane market, Camden market, Oxford Street and so many other interesting places. Prior to your homestay English learning course we advise you to do some research online to get information on various London locations so that you can make an informed choice, as to where to visit.
