London Experience Programme
Big city. Big memories.
Iconic sights, world-class shopping, and unforgettable cultural adventures in the heart of the capital. Based at Aldenham School, a prestigious independent boarding school founded over 400 years ago by royal charter from Queen Elizabeth I, students enjoy a safe, compact campus in peaceful countryside less than an hour from central London. With all facilities—accommodation, classrooms, dining hall, and sports areas—just a short walk apart, Aldenham offers the perfect balance of tranquility, top sports facilities, and easy access to London’s world-famous attractions.
London Experience Programme
The London Experience is the highlight of our junior English summer programme, giving students an unforgettable taste of the capital’s culture, history, and energy. Each week includes:
- Two afternoon adventures in London, exploring world-famous sights such as Buckingham Palace, Westminster, Covent Garden, and Oxford Street, plus visits to top museums and cultural attractions.
- One evening trip into the city to enjoy its lively atmosphere, street performers, and famous landmarks after the daytime crowds have gone.
- For students staying two weeks or more, a full-day Sunday trip to explore even more of London’s iconic landmarks.
Alongside this, students enjoy high-quality English lessons in small classes, a full programme of activities, and safe, comfortable residential accommodation. It’s the ideal choice for young learners who want to improve their English, make new friends from around the world, and experience the very best of London.
