Highlights

At the hotel and restaurant

We choose comfort and stay on half-board basis in modern triple rooms in an Ibis hotel in East London. From here we can easily reach the city by subway.

We'll have breakfast at the hotel. Expect a full buffet-style English breakfast.

In the afternoon, we picnic in town with a sandwich, wrap, salad or piece of pizza (not included in the price).

In the evening we go to a restaurant. In this respect, London is a dream. There is no shortage of places to eat. So we will have dinner at a trendy Asian, at a hip burger restaurant or at a cozy Italian. Please note that drinks during dinner are not included in the price (except water).

City trips and learning to speak English, perfect combination!

The language of instruction for this camp is, of course, English. With super fun group-building activities, we overcome our fear of speaking English.

We also often take to the streets to make contacts with London men/women. On Notting Hill we do interviews about everyday life, at Tower Bridge about the history of England.

In addition to many fleeting contacts, we also regularly take time to have longer conversations that are sure to stick with you.

Variety and exercise are ingrained in this formula. The organization's trademark, therefore, is: LEARNING IS A PLEASURE.

 

City Exploration

We don't explore London in a classical or passive way. Action is the trump card.

We start our vacation in one of London's most historic neighborhoods, Greenwich, where we get to know each other better and explore the main highlights!

The next day we guide ourselves and show our groupmates around Saint Paul's Cathedral, the Museum of London and the Tower of London.

During the London Express, we pass the Globe, Tate Modern, London Eye and the Houses of Parliament. We end the tour at Buckingham Palace.

In Hyde Park there is plenty of room to alternate sports and language activities. We conclude with an evening walk past Trafalgar Square, Leicester Square and Piccadilly Circus.

Of course, the lively Portobello Road market on Notting Hill is not to be missed on the program. In the evening we take a horror walk in the footsteps of Jack the Ripper with a local guide.

On the penultimate day, you have a choice between two top programs (to be indicated at registration). Hip birds flock to Camden Town where colorful stores, street art and performers set the tone. Harry Potter fans can take part in a Tour for Muggles organized by the Department of Tourism and Muggle Relations! Please note, places are limited for this option. So be quick about it!

In the afternoon we solve a murder in Covent Garden, where we take time to shop afterwards. We end the week with the famous and enchanting musical "Wicked," which tells the story of the friendship between the witches of Oz, Elphaba and Glinda.
