Position in London: Kings is located in Beckenham, in Greater London. It is south of the main centre of the capital city, close to Crystal Palace. The school is situated on a busy road within the area, with shops and restaurants lining the streets.

Getting around: A few minutes walk from the school, on the same street, is the train station Clock House. This station has the southeastern line running through it. It takes around 25 minutes to reach the centre of London from the station. Beckenham Junction, the main travel hub of Beckenham, is 10 minutes by foot from Kings. From here, there are a selection of train lines for other locations, bus routes and the tram station.

Things to do: All the central London attractions are accessible once in the centre of the city, using either the buses or the tube. Kings is located in between Bromley and Crystal Palace. Bromley has a large shopping centre, cinema and a performing arts centre. Crystal Palace has a lively nightlife and a huge park known as The Crystal Palace Park. Students can relax in the park or visit one of the many attractions located in the park.

Courses at Kings: There are exam preparation courses in IELTS and the Cambridge exams. The school teaches academic year courses as well as a diploma or foundation course for those needing this to further their English skills for education. A holiday package is available, which includes accommodation. Kings teaches English for those wanting to enter a career in either law or the business world.

Junior courses: Kings has packages for younger learners that include accommodation and an activity programme. These take place on the school premises, as well as in other locations in London.

Chain school: Kings is a number of well established English language schools in the UK and USA. They understand that learning English is a journey, and there are different needs for the language as this progresses. As a result of this, each school provides a range of courses to cater for these requirements ranging from exam courses, academic programmes, diplomas and courses for specific fields of study such as business. Kings has partnered with academic establishments worldwide to help students to transition into furthering their education at a university in either the UK or the USA

While hanging out, you'll have a nice conversation with each other. Having fun overall is the main goal here and to improve your speaking skills and to meet brilliant people.”
Other comments: I did enjoy the students and teachers. Everyone was so nice. However, I didn't like the quality and quantity of teaching. The teachers should be stricter. I believe in this way, students will have more progress.

Kings

“"Communication is at the heart of the Kings approach to teaching and learning. We recognise that knowledge about the English language is not enough. Your ability to use the language is our shared goal and passion. Lessons are designed to help you express your ideas, feelings and knowledge - whether in order to pass an exam, find your dream job or to communicate your ideas to the world. The Kings classroom combines a focus on both fluency and accuracy. We understand that you need to practice what you have learnt, whether that be a new piece of grammar or a new set of vocabulary. New language is practised in a range of creative, imaginative and stimulating ways, all of which put you and your ability to communicate right at the centre of everything. In addition to learning and using new language, the Kings classroom also supports and promotes cultural, academic and personal development. Classes discuss world events, culture and those aspects of life which are of greatest importance to all our lives. We take time to listen to each other, to question our own understandings of the world around us and to celebrate, in English, the life-changing experience of learning together."”

The evaluations by students after they complete a course is excellent. The discount for using your website is also a great incentive. It also would be wonderful if the website would include more cities and a bigger selection of schools in each city.

The service of languagecourse.net is great, I booked already 3 schools and I can highly recommend it. In fact, I tell everybody I meet on my journey in South America about this website and how well everything is organized.
Gabriele Ragger verified client
I am very satisfied. I found more/relevant information on your webpage than on the school's website itself. It is the cheapest offer. I'm going to book my next course on your site soon.

You're just great, doing a fantastic job. I'll be back in a couple of weeks and be booking my next stay abroad with you again (as always).

Your service was excellent, really following up and holding my hand.! My older step-brother used your service a few years ago to study Spanish in Salamanca and Granada and we found LanguageCourse.Net so helpful then as well.

Just keep up the good work. The organization is excellent, so that even less experienced travellers would feel ok to come to China. I also felt really good in the host family, they were really great!
