More about this camp

The Kings Central London Summer Centre runs the Kings Summer Course at South Bank University, in central London. It accepts students aged 13 to 17. Programme and activities. Students take 15 hours of English lessons per week alongside a full programme of activities and London excursions. Being central, the city is directly available for the excursion programme rather than requiring travel in from outside. Accommodation. Students stay in residential university accommodation at South Bank University, supervised by Kings staff. Living on the university campus keeps accommodation and teaching together. Families should confirm room arrangements, and — since a university is not a school — ask what supervision applies outside teaching hours, though Kings provides its own residential staff. Ages, dates and duration. The centre accepts students aged 13 to 17 — a narrower, school-age band than some of the network, with no adult upper end. Seven arrival dates are listed from late June. Location and travel. South Bank University is near Elephant and Castle in central London, on the underground with access across the city. All London airports are reachable, with varying journey times. Transfer arrangements are not published. Who the programme may suit. This centre may suit teenagers who want a central-London university base and a school-age peer group. Note that Kings runs a second Central London centre at the University of London in Bloomsbury, which takes students from 12 and uses single en-suite rooms — a different accommodation standard and age band in the same city — so families should compare the two directly.
