Brighton is great alternative to London. It’s a cosmopolitan city with a student buzz. But, best of all, it is next to the sea. Brighton is only an hour away from London and rivals the capital for its outstanding restaurants, pubs and bars, and its arts and theatre scene. Brighton has several universities which give the city a young feel. Many celebrities have left big city London for what the locals call London-by-the-sea.
When it’s warm you can celebrate a challenging English lesson with an after-school swim. Life in Brighton is a little cheaper than London.

The Language House likes
We love the sea – there’s not much in Switzerland. In Brighton, you can smell the salt in the air and share your fish and chips with the seagulls. It’s a student city with a great social life where people work hard and party hard. An excellent alternative to London.
