The London School of English Canterbury language school is housed in 2 magnificent Georgian-style buildings, at the heart of the historic district of Canterbury a few minutes' walk away from the impressive cathedral. In an elegant and calm environment, the course centre features excellent facilities, including 12 bright and spacious classrooms, as well as a well-equipped resource centre. In order to relax and chat with the other participants after your English classes you will also be able to make use of the comfortable lounge and the charming interior garden. The training centre welcomes a maximum of 35 professional participants who follow very intensive English courses, specific to a business background. Personalised attention and a top-range service make this centre a popular place to learn English. You will improve your command of English, particularly spoken (but also written) language in various situations of everyday life and in the more formal setting of your professional domain. Answering the telephone, sending emails, introducing your company, speaking in public: all of this in English will become a piece of cake! Accessibility and transfers are quite easy, as the school is situated in the middle of Kent. From Heathrow or Gatwick airport, take to train to London, then, from Victoria Station, the South Eastern Trains line will bring you as far as Canterbury (East). Ashford International train station (for the Eurostar) is also only 20 minutes away from Canterbury.

Please note : all courses include a three-course lunch (twice per week), freshly prepared by our team of chefs using locally-sourced ingredients wherever possible.
