As part of the benefits we have because of working in Igalia, I’m going to London next month in order to improve my English level. Igalia pays part of my travel because I’ll attend an English course during two weeks.
\nI’ve never been in London before, so I’ve been very stressed during two weeks, searching schools, accommodation and reading all kind of information related to London.<\/p>\n
I’m going to write some urls that can be very useful for you \ud83d\ude42 if you want to manage your travel to London. I don’t know if all my information will be good :), but when I come back I’ll write about it.<\/p>\n
First, I was very busy searching by apartments because I have allergic asthma and I wanted to find a room with wood laminate flooring, but all the budget hotels had fitted carpet. The problem is that it’s difficult to find studios only for two weeks, however there are a lot of apartments for more than one month.<\/p>\n
If you want to go more than several months you can find letting agents using several national associations:<\/p>\n
You can use the following url to check information about a company if you don’t feel very confident about it:<\/p>\n
<\/span><\/p>\n The main problem is going to London only two or three weeks. You’ll have to search apartments using specific sites for short letting apartments. Some examples:<\/p>\n The problem is the difficulty to know if you can be confident with this companies… I’m going with the first… So, when I come back I’ll tell you my opinion about it. This company works as middleman between you and the <\/span>owner<\/span> of the apartments.<\/span><\/p>\n After I could close my accommodation, I could know that there is a site that works with young hostels, where you can get good offers (even better if you don’t mind to share rooms):<\/p>\n I decided to use that site because I found a FAQ about London very useful:<\/p>\n There, you can find information about London transport, restaurants, pubs, accommodation, places you should visit…<\/p>\n Then, if you want to find some English courses you can use British Council<\/a> where you cand find several schools and the kind of courses they offer. I’ve decided attend a course in King Street College<\/a> near to Shepherd’s Bush tube station (that is currently closed :().<\/p>\n I hope I will come back from London very happy with my selection and I expect I can give you more detailed information about ShortStay and King School.<\/p>\n Xavi.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" As part of the benefits we have because of working in Igalia, I’m going to London next month in order to improve my English level.
