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: fixed week, Sunday 26 July – Sunday 2 August 2026. Price: £1,600 full package (7 nights 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, 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.
