Why London?

London attracts workers from across the UK and globally. This creates diversity in the workplace, meaning you will have the chance to familiarise yourself with the different accents that are used and the variations in the English language. By communicating with different English speakers, you will be able to practice English authentically. In addition to understanding different accents, you will familiarise yourself with colloquialisms and cues from socialising with work colleagues and friends that you will make on your internship journey.

Building your CV

Showing that you have worked in London is a valued feature on any CV as it shows that you have cultural awareness. With the job market being increasingly competitive globally, working in London will also show employers that you are independent and have the drive to succeed. London has a reputation for being demanding in comparison to the rest of the UK, so future employers can be sure that they are recruiting high quality talent.
