St Giles London Explorer Week — UCL

St Giles London Explorer Week is a one-week, excursion-based summer programme run by St Giles International at UCL's Ramsay Hall in Central London. Instead of classroom lessons, students aged 12–17 improve their English fluency through full-day excursions every day — famous landmarks like Windsor Castle, the Tower of London and the Harry Potter Warner Bros Studio Tour, plus street markets, royal parks and creative neighbourhoods — with English practice, teamwork and socialising built into the programme. Key facts: Ages 12–17, minimum level A1; ideal for students with a higher level of English who prefer indirect learning. Dates: one fixed week, Sunday to Sunday. Price: a single full-package fee covering 7 nights in a single room with shared bathroom at Ramsay Hall, all meals — a mix of restaurants, cafés and packed lunches — all excursions and transport by private coach and London Underground, 24-hour supervision and insurance. Capacity: 45 participants, staff ratio 1:15–1:20. Students join the St Giles London Juniors evening programme. Best for: teens who have already done classroom-based summer courses and want a full-immersion London adventure week with new international friends. Parents should check: final dates and current prices, availability, airport transfer booking (individual students under 13 must travel as Unaccompanied Minors, for which the provider charges a UM fee per journey), visa requirements, dietary needs, and the refundable arrival deposit payable in cash. Information checked against official provider sources. Dates, prices and availability may change and should be confirmed directly with the camp provider.
