SGI social programme
Experience 'London Life' with St George International
Social activities at the school include quiz nights, regular Monday and Friday parties, themed evenings and discos, as well as visits to pubs, clubs, concerts and the theatre.
We can also arrange sporting activities for you such as swimming, golf, tennis, ice-skating and horse-riding. In good weather we also arrange regular football competitions in nearby Regent’s Park.
We believe that SGI's social programme will help you have a memorable time in London, making new friends, meeting lots of interesting people and most importantly, improving your English!
