The school

Our London school is an exciting new development for Embassy CES students. It is brand new and purpose-built to our specifications, providing first-class facilities in a very modern setting.

There are 120 bedrooms on the same site, which are part of a 950-bed student village (the other beds are occupied by students from the University of Greenwich and other local colleges).

Greenwich is a lively riverside area of London, only 20 minutes from the city centre. It is popular with students and home to the University of Greenwich as well as many museums, cafes and shops.

When full, our London school has a capacity of 400 students. The minimum age is 16.

Our London school is accredited by English UK and the British Council, guaranteeing you quality English language tuition.
