Always something interesting to find in London

Approximately 1.5 million people use the Greenwich & Woolwich Foot Tunnels to get from one side of the mighty River Thames to the other. They are, however, somewhat taken for granted. Have you ever stopped to wonder at their existence? They are quite remarkable - there's not much else quite

Hi everyone, just a quick reminder if you have not already could you please let us know your availability for 2019, as per the dates that have been sent out.
The more confirmations we have the more coaches we can accept, so your responses are paramount in our planning.
Many thanks.

Well I hope you have had as much fun as us over the Summer break 😎.
We have just one more coach, due in October which has confirmed from the Perpignan area of France.
If you are available please let me know asap.
Also, preliminary dates have now been sent out for 2019, if I could request that you respond as soon as, it will aid our planning no end. It also affects the number of coaches we accept, as I am sure you are aware.
Looking forward to seeing you all again soon, in the meantime enjoy the bank holiday

A special thank you from us to all our Loyal Hosts out there, who have made this season an enjoyable one for us.
We hope you all have a great summer. 😎😎😎😎

We said a fond farewell to Saint Josephs group from the Loire Valley on Saturday, who were with us this week.
128 students and 11 adults across all 3 of our Centres took some organising but thankfully there were no hiccups.
The students were great, as were the teachers, led by Sandrine who was extremely organised which makes a real difference.
We are so pleased you enjoyed, once again your stay with us, and look forward to seeing you again next year.

Sorry about the late post, but it probably has something to do with the weather!!
Remember last week with all that sunshine? Well thanks goes out to Jean-Louis from Nantes in Brittany who always seems to pick the right week weather wise to travel.
So if you are thinking of taking a break you could just find out when he has booked his holidays and make sure you book the same week 😎😎😎😎😂😂😂😂😂
Looking forward to seeing you again next year JL, have a great summer.

Lyon is now renamed the city of Sunshine, as this is what the group brought with them in their attitude this week in our Guildford Centre.
Unfortunately the weather in London was typical of spring, mostly showers etc. but this did not dampen the spirits of the students at all.
All the families were absolutely delighted with the group, engaging and amusing were just some of the comments.
Looking forward to seeing you again Celine and your lovely teachers not forgetting Axile the all important driver, hope you had a safe journey home.

22/04/2018

What a busy week it has been, we welcomed Sonia and Sylvan and their group in from College Saint Joseph Avignon in 2 of our centres, and then we had Nathalie in another 2 centres, from College Notre Dame in Sourdeval Normandy, bringing the largest group we have seen for quite awhile. The weather was especially kind to them both with wall to wall sunshine for most of the week. Sonia availed herself in an English supermarket before her return, whereas Nathalie departed with 70 freshly baked jam doughnuts to keep her little darlings from starving on the way home.
The students all had a great time as did the families, have a great summer and we will look forward to seeing you both again very soon.

Last week saw 2 lovely groups in our Woking and Weybridge Centre's from Orleans south of Paris.
It was a real pleasure to host the school whose numbers seem to increase each year.
All the families were delighted with the students and a number of true friendships were forged during the week.
A special mention for Delphine and Mark, the lead Teachers who have done a magnificent job with the students.
We all look forward to seeing you again next year.

We said a sad farewell to the last of our Dutch groups for this year from the Haarlemmermeer Lyceum in Amsterdam.
A great tour which had its ups and downs, mainly due to Coach Tyres!!! However, they were extremely lucky as they had Rene who rose to the challenge as did the tyres.......😂😂 All the families commented on how delightful the students were. A few insisted on posing with some of them on their departure.
Great to see you guys again and we look forward to seeing you all again very soon.
Robert, you must let me know in advance which duck you are bringing on tour.
Safe journey.

21/03/2018

Today is now renamed ‘Above and Beyond ‘ day.
Changing coach wheels now needs to be added to the teacher training curriculum.
If it was not for the combined efforts of Rene, the driver and Robert, the teacher there would be a stranded Dutch coach still in the parking spot in Guildford, but thanks to their efforts the students were on their way by lunchtime 😁

19/03/2018

The Dutch are being spoilt this week, but I know it’s appreciated as it was last week 😁

16/03/2018

So we said goodbye to 2 lovely Dutch groups this morning after their 6 day stay with us. 110 students who hopefully know now more about London than they did before.
So now we prepare ourselves for the next groups arriving in 2 of our centres on Sunday for their extended stay, let's hope the snow is just a temporary blip on the weather front.
Have a safe trip Rene 😉

05/03/2018

The Dutch are coming
The first of our lovely Dutch groups arrive in our Guildford and Woking Centre's this Sunday, and a welcomed return of Rene the very amiable driver after illness.
Looking forward to seeing you guys again, have a safe journey.

Hi all, whilst you are all sitting around your fireplace trying to keep warm, can I ask you to spend a few minutes looking at the dates for 2018 we sent out to you and let us know your availability. I know it seems an age away but before you know it Christmas would have come and gone and it really does help our planning, especially as numbers tend to change at this time of year.
Stay warm folks.

The great thing with hosting a Fashion College is that everyday is another show! Some of the outfits were quite stunning and there was some obvious talent, inspired by, perhaps they were in London.
One thing for sure is that with fashion comes shopping, and the cases were straining to cope by the end of the week.
It was a delight to see Carine and her team again this year, all our Guildford Centre families will miss you.
We wish them all a safe journey back to Grenoble, and look forward to seeing them again in 2018.

14/10/2017

Our lovely Fashion group from Grenoble are due in on Sunday evening for their annual visit to London.
All the emails have gone out, any problems or issues please let me know straight away, otherwise I'll look forward to seeing everyone at our Guildford centre at 7.00pm.

Yesterday saw our lovely group of Mexicans depart from our Woking Centre, after yet another amazing 'Royal Trip'
This is the 6th consecutive year we have organised this tour for Nora and her group, and despite train delays etc. they all had a great time, and a big thank you goes out to their delightful hosts.
We wish them a safe trip back to Mexico and look forward to seeing them again next year.

27/09/2017

Hi everyone, hope you had a great summer dodging the showers amidst the sunshine.

Interesting view

I sincerely hope that your plans for the summer are well advanced and you are looking forward to a hot one!

Just to keep you updated, 2018 bookings are filling up nicely with only limited availability now.

Next year will see a rate rise to all, more details to follow soon but I am sure you will be delighted, thanks to some hard negotiating which makes 'Brexit' look like a walk in the park.😂

The other exciting news for the company is that we are soon to be opening an English Language school in Normandy, France catering for French students in the main, but we may well open this up to English students who want to improve their foreign language skills
Next coaches due in October, one group has insisted on coming to Guildford so be prepared.
In the meantime have a GREAT SUMMER and I will look forward to seeing you all in the autumn.
