Stroll along one of London's most iconic riverside routes

Explore: South Bank

The South Bank is one of London’s liveliest areas. On this walk, you’ll follow the River Thames, passing famous landmarks and striking architecture, all while enjoying relaxed, natural conversations in English.

Starting near Big Ben and the Houses of Parliament, we’ll cross Westminster Bridge and continue along the river, taking in major sights, cultural landmarks and unexpected details along the way. As we explore, you’ll pick up useful everyday English inspired by the places around us and use it in real conversation.

This tour is ideal for building confidence in English, meeting fellow learners and discovering London from a local perspective.

Meeting Spot: Next to the statue of Winston Churchill in Parliament Square (Nearest tube: Westminster).
