| The school provides students with the opportunity to live in off-campus residences or enjoy a homestay experience. For students who prefer an independent lifestyle, off-campus residences provide more privacy and offer opportunities to interact with people in the community outside the school environment. The school also arranges homestays for those students who want to experience local culture first-hand as a member of a family and practice their conversational English. Students are encouraged to make their housing arrangements as early as possible due to the limited amount of space available. Private off-campus apartments are also available; however students must make their own arrangements. For more information, use the Contact Address to ask the school directly. |

The school is located in Greenwich, a charming suburban residential community situated in the London Borough of Greenwich in south-east London. The area is popular with both British and international tourists as it has many museums and historic buildings, and is best known for its maritime history and as giving its name to the Greenwich Meridian (0ｰ longitude) and Greenwich Mean Time. The school is in a modern building which has facilities of superb quality situated close to the University of Greenwich. Although Greenwich is only 25 minutes from Central London by train, it has the friendly feeling of a small town, with shops and restaurants located conveniently nearby the school. The quiet, safe surroundings make the area an ideal location to study, however when it comes time to explore the area, Greenwich offers easy access to the cosmopolitan city of London.
London is the most populous city within the European Union, with an official population of 7.5 million and has a metropolitan area population of between 12 and 14 million. Its diverse population draws from a wide range of people, culture and religion, including over 300 different languages. London is a major tourist destination with four world heritage sites, a number of royal parks, and numerous famous landmarks such as the Houses of Parliament, Tower Bridge, the Tower of London, Westminster Abbey, Buckingham Palace and the London Eye. Other attractions include famous institutions such as the National Gallery, along with many shopping, nightlife and entertainment destinations in the West End. London's main geographical feature is the River Thames which runs through the city from the south-west to the east. |
