International House London is an established and well-known language school, with over fifty years of experience in providing language courses and teacher training programmes. Based in a spacious and fully-equipped school, near Covent Garden, we are a founder member of the International House World Organisation.

International House London welcomes over 8,000 language students from 150 countries each year. Our students enjoy learning in the vibrant and multicultural atmosphere of IH London; making new friends and experiencing the excitement of the city together. So whether you’d like to study a modern language; learn English for business or pleasure, or teach English, we have the course for you.

A great form of low-cost accommodation where you stay with local people. Choose bed and breakfast only for more flexibility, or select evening meals if you prefer to eat at home.

Most accommodation is 40-50 minutes from the school using London’s excellent underground and bus routes.

This accommodation comprises a single or twin room in a house or flat shared with other students. This option is self-catered and there is no host living in the house.

A twin room can be booked if two students come together.

Room options:

• Single room

• Twin room (with friend)

• Dormitory room (with 3-5 students)

House or flat sharing is one of the most sociable ways in which to live and you will have the opportunity to meet a range of students from different countries and cultures.

London is a friendly, welcoming city that is full of life. Whatever interests you outside of lessons, you will find London an exciting and inspiring experience and, of course, the best place to learn the English language.

IH London's Social Programme team help you get to know London from the inside. There is always something happening and IH London makes it easy for you to follow your own passions and interests in our diverse and culturally rich city.

IH London school in Covent Garden is very close to many of London’s most interesting places. The London Underground (called ‘the Tube’) was the world’s first underground railway. It's a fast, efficient way to travel around, but the double-decker buses are better for the view!
