Excellent, budget school in London. Near the school there is a park and a metro station. The school has its own dining room with budgetary food prices, which is very convenient to eat after classes, when you go for a walk to the city centre.

Fantastic view on the terrace (on the roof of the school). Excellent and friendly teachers, and the school administration, which is ready to help at any moment. At the end, I received a certificate of my level of language and success. A2

The host family was a bit far from the school and I had to travel by bus. But it's okey for me

For my opinion, It is one of the best schools in London. I have studied at different schools in London before (3 more), in comparison with previous schools St. Giles has really high level for studying. Staff is very friendly and helpful. If you don't like teacher's way of teaching you can change your class (just speak with assistant of director).

I didn't use any accommodation service, I had mine, so I can't tell you anything about it. But other students were happy with their Host Families. Every day after lessons they have excursions, art club, reading, discussion club and Friday party. Sometimes with teachers who cared about us. I enjoyed my studying and my English improved much better than I even expected.

I chose a school where I will have a lot of students from different countries. My colleagues recommended me St Giles. I thought that a school in Central London will have a lot of students from my country but there were a lot of people from Japan, China and Brazil. I lived in a very good homestay and I liked it a lot! I will come back in summer!
