More about this camp

The Kings London Beckenham Summer Centre runs Kings Experience London at the Kings London school in Beckenham, a leafy suburb of South East London. It accepts students aged 14 to 17. Programme and activities. Students take 15 hours of English lessons per week alongside activities and London excursions. Beckenham is a quieter, greener part of London than the centre, with central London reachable for the excursion programme. Accommodation and meals. This centre uses homestay with carefully selected local families, in single or twin rooms; students under 16 may book a maximum arrangement the provider specifies. Homestay means daily travel to the school and evenings with the family rather than under school supervision — a different setup from the network's residential centres. Families should confirm meal arrangements and typical travel times. Ages, dates and duration. The centre accepts students aged 14 to 17 — an older band than the Kings Central London centres, consistent with the independence homestay in a large city requires. Eight arrival dates are listed from late June. Location and travel. Beckenham is in the London Borough of Bromley, in South East London, on the rail network into central London. All London airports are reachable, with varying journey times. Transfer arrangements are not published. Who the programme may suit. This centre may suit older teenagers who want a quieter, suburban London base with genuine British homestay immersion, and who are comfortable travelling into the school each day. It may suit less well younger students or families wanting on-campus residential supervision — for a central base with a residence, the Kings South Bank or University of London centres are the comparison.
