Studying in this bustling metropolis ensures maximum exposure to the kind of English that is used in international business. A leader in banking, finance, law, media, fashion and culture, London attracts the very brightest and best from across the globe. London has existed for over two thousand years. In that time, it has gone through many changes of both fortune and design. Each time, it has emerged stronger and more vibrant than before. It has drawn people in from every corner of the globe and has been the starting point for fantastic journeys, famous lives, great works of art and literature and world class businesses.
