Crest Schools of English is based in a pleasant suburb of London called Edgware. The school is on the main high street, close to the station and in the middle of plenty of shops, restaurants and cafes.

The advantage of being here is that you can easily visit central London by bus or tube to enjoy the magnificent sights and fantastic nightlife – but without the stress or cost of living in the centre. It is an equally convenient location for those who want to visit the many beautiful places outside London and who want to experience real English living first-hand.
