Students come in their droves to study English in London each year. The city has a reputation for great cultural life and some of the wildest nightlife in the world. Since the introduction of 24 hour licensing in 2005, the capital's clubs and bars have come into their own. While this has, arguably, made it more difficult to maintain the focus necessary to learn English for college, it has made the learning experience more enjoyable and diverse for everyone who visits the city.
Because London is such a hive of industry, courses to learn English for business are popular and always well subscribed. Many international companies have their British or European headquarters there; many more are listed on the London Stock Exchange, which is the largest in Europe. This brings an influx of workers from around the world, many of whom benefit from working on their business English. Business English courses have traditionally been popular with employees of East Asian companies, where employees are less likely to have been taught English at school.
Along with New York, Tokyo and Paris, London is one of the great international cities. English classes in London offer a great chance to explore one of this most exciting of places. From the bright lights of the West End to the hustle and bustle of Spitalfields Market, London is twenty-four hour city with something for everyone.

I’ve decided to embark on a new career. For years I’ve depended on the goodness of someone else paying me a salary for my journalistic wares. It hasn’t earned me a fortune, but at least it’s kept a roof over my head with enough left to feed the cat.
