I am disappointed at City Lit group. Before the lockdown I went there to speak to the Technology, Science and Business department. I was told to send and email. A month later and I never got the reply. I understand because of Covid-19 people are working from home but does that mean they only reply according to their convenience?

Great adult education centre in central London, hidden in a quiet street in Covent Garden. I have taken around 16 courses here during the past 15 years, and it is my go-to place when I feel I need to upskill myself or simply learn new hobbies or improve old ones. The quality of the tutors is amazing, course contents are rich, and you will meet like-minded people thirsty for knowledge. I would say that my favourite site is City Lit's main site in Keeley Street (Covent Garden), the facilities there are great, it is a purpose-build building after all. But as they now offer over 5,000 different courses (more or less, truly a huge range!) they have outgrown their main site and a few years ago they started using extra facilities... and my only criticism is that their EC Centre in the Euston area has some uncomfortably small classrooms (I once did a foreign language course there). Aside from that small detail I would fully recommend this college to anyone keen to learn and explore new skills. City Lit opened 101 years ago, so it has inspired many curious and inquisitive Londoners for a very long time, and I can say that it has definitely improved my life throughout the past two decades, professionally and personally. Thank You City Lit!!!

City Lit is an oasis of learning in central London. The range of courses is inspirational. The atmosphere is friendly and you meet like minded people who offer stimulating company. What's not to like? Life long learning at its best.

My only experience of CityLit has been during the pandemic while people have been working remotely, and it's been an absolute shambles. My tutor has been incapable of teaching students remotely, trying to employ learning aids you would find in a classroom but which add nothing but confusion over Zoom. This has been compounded by the tutor seemlingly refusing to use the classroom tools which were made available (Google classrooms). In one lesson they tried to set homework and then told us to skip it as they couldn't figure out how to upload it to our Classroom. From the first lesson I sent constant feedback to the langauges department. Responses take a massively long time, and everything is blamed on COVID. For my course several of the students compalined and while acknowledging that the learning experience was not following the guidance given to tutors, the only outcome was that they asked the tutor if they needed help and they said they were fine and disagreed there was a problem. It was our word against theirs and nothing else they could do. For the last month of the course I stopped receiving the Zoom session details with no warning. In the end I gave up, and I wouldn't waste my money with them again. I would recommend anyone thinking of sining up to a course at CityLit not to bother, especially if your course is to be delivered remotely. I'm sure there are capable tutors, but if you're stuck with one who is technologically illiterate then your money is gone. CityLit are quite happy to take your money, but when there are problems they are slow to respond, have no solutions to offer, and they wash their hands of you.

Beginners Tap Dance with Ben Bailey Great class, good fun, good routines with a fab and encouraging teacher, and always feel better after dancing. Would thoroughly recommend Ben who know loads about the history of tap dancing/dancers too, as well as other types of dance.
