London
Long an international center of commerce and politics, London has always attracted immigrants and visitors from around the world. London is a city that has evolved architecturally throughout its history, and is home to world-renowned landmarks such as the Tower of London, Buckingham Palace, St. Paul's Cathedral, and Westminster Abbey. Countless museums, parks, gardens, galleries, and theatres make London a vibrant cultural and historical destination. London is also an international transportation hub, and navigating the city itself is easily accomplished through the London Underground (the "Tube"), the world's oldest underground railway, as well as an extensive bus network.
The ACM London program is housed in Earls Court, adjacent to the Tube stop of the same name. It's a vibrant and multicultural neighborhood of London, with a wide variety of shops, restaurants, and pubs in the area. The students on the program all live together in apartments on two floors of a house, with shared kitchen and bathroom facilities. The primary classroom is conveniently located in a small building at the end of the garden behind the house where students live, and includes a library and some computer facilities. In addition to the time spent in this classroom, much of the academic program involves exploring the city – students will attend numerous plays and will visit museums, churches, public buildings, and neighborhoods across London.
