Summer in London 2013 – The Highlights So Far…


Afternoon trip on the London Eye

July in London- typically 21 degrees with a little sunshine- but July 2013 has seen daily temperatures close to 30 degrees and not a cloud in the sky! This has had a tremendous impact on London- making us all as cheerful and smiley as we were last year at the Olympics. I wonder if we could win an award for Europe’s happiest city right now?
Stafford House London has also been having a fantastic summer- the number of our students getting excellent IELTS scores on their way to UK universities and foundation programmes has been the highlight academically. Nearly every IELTS student has had a success story to tell this month.
  
Seiga got a 5.5 in IELTS and is going to study at FoundatiONcampus London in September

Outside Thorpe Park
Socially, the activities programme has never been so popular- and the photos below certainly show how much fun has been had. Highlights have definitely been day trips to Oxford and the theme park, Thorpe Park, but the wonderful weather has also encouraged a record number of students to take part in our walking tour­ of Westminster and Buckingham Palace.



The Sunday trip to Oxford
Next month, students have even more to look forward to as we take them to the world-famous Notting Hill carnival. Music fans will be delighted to attend the Canary Wharf Jazz festival, and our students from South America will surely feel at home when London hosts “Carnaval del Pueblo“ ­- Europe's largest celebration of Latin American culture.
