People from around the world flock to London each year to see one of the world's great international cities. There are three main reasons for coming to the city: for business, for pleasure, or to study English in London. The English language is spoken around the world, from Helsinki to Harari. It is taught as a compulsory subject in many countries, including Sweden, Finland, Norway, Holland, Denmark and Spain, while a controversial report has suggested that it should be made compulsory in French schools. This suggestion caused a tremendous outcry in a country as proud of its heritage as France. As a result of this, any French person wishing to study at a British or American university will usually make a special effort to learn English for college before departing.

Taking an English course in London is a great way to learn the language, as there is every opportunity to explore one of the great English-speaking cities. Also, from the London hotels to London tourist attractions, learners in London have a fantastic opportunity to meet people from around the world and practice any new vocabulary with them. This is one great thing about coming to the city to study the language: thousands of people from around the world come to learn English in London at any one time and the city is full of students and young people.

Some people come to London out of necessity, and will have to learn legal English or learn English for business. The difference with courses like these is often that the groups will be smaller and the language training will be more specific. The teacher will also be a specialist in the language of business or law. London attracts a lot of learners who need English for business as it is the most important city for business in Europe, with the largest stock exchange in the continent. If you wish to learn business English London is definitely a good place to do it.

Some companies with their headquarters in London include: BT, British Airways, Barclays, Diageo, HSBC, Kingfisher, Lloyds TSB and Reuters. It is no surprise that so many language schools in London offer professional English courses aimed at the many international employees of these large firms. A standard intensive English course in London would not cover the specific business terminology required, although it may be enough to cover you for an internship.

Some great tourist attractions to visit in London include Buckingham Palace, the London Eye, St Paul's Cathedral, Leicester Square and the theatres of Shaftesbury Avenue.
