Loughborough is an ordinary English town with a university and a college. But if it was counted as a country, it would have come 17th in the medal table at the Rio Olympics, and 10th in the Paralympics.

MP and the Deputy Mayor of Kingston were guests of honour at the official opening of English UK member London Tutorial College as an independent school, fully recognised by the Department for Education last week.

There are plenty of festivals and events and it's a great time of year for countryside walks and  winter sports.

We would like to thank you for working with us, attending our events and for supporting English language learning in the UK.

Winter can be one of the nicest times to visit the UK or study here, with festivals and events, snowy countryside and shopping under festive lights.
