Sorry we haven’t been posting on here gang! We have been busy helping our students take their final steps to getting to the UK and helped some of them settle in to life in London as well (post Covid edition).

Thank you to everyone who continues to use the website to get in touch. Keep at it! We are recruiting more staff this fall to keep up with the demand of your queries! 📝

UK Lockdown restrictions are lifting on Monday! (tomorrow) swipe left to see the details.

London along with the rest of UK has been a quiet sight for over a year now.

Iconic pubs like the Sherlock Holmes pub closed their doors during the pandemic. Streets are pretty empty. Some days it was nice to walk around empty London but it’s safe to say we are all SO EXCITED to see what post- COVID London has in store!

What are your post lockdown plans? 🤩 Tell is in the comments.

Wishing you and your loved ones a lovely day!

If you’re new to 🇬🇧, make sure to introduce yourself to a VERY popular Easter custom here: get yourself a chocolate Easter egg! We don’t have these in 🇺🇸 but since moving to London it’s become an Easter staple.

Which is your favorite? 🍫🐣

Galaxy chocolate is my winner. 🏆

We love everything about this post. Bianca came to London to study both her Undergraduate and Masters degree. Check out her page to see what she is up to today.

Ps. Cried proud tears when I saw this 🥲

Captain Sir Tom Moore, a true hero who won the nation's hearts last year with his fundraising walk (100 laps in his garden before his 100th birthday) and positive spirit sadly passed away.

He set out to raise £1000 and managed to raise over £33 million for the and various charities!

He was a beacon of hope for the entire nation during this tough time and we are so inspired by all the good he managed to bring to the world at 100 years of age!

Our favorite quote, “You’re never too old for a new adventure. You can do and be anything you want to be”

Rest in Peace Captain Sir Tom Moore
1920 - 2021
