This place is amazing. Ok, so not plush, but I've taken a number of courses here over the years,…read moremainly in jewellery and sewing. The quality of teaching is excellent and the equipment and workshops are as good as any other facilities in London but at a fraction of the price - like £66 for 10 weeks of silversmithing. Periodically there are rumours that it will be shut down and the space leased out to other schools etc. So if you fancy upholstery or enamelling or pottery - get enrolled and keep the numbers up! Daytime and evening courses, not the most salubrious canteen etc but at least there is one!

I have just started a ballroom dancing course in Bethnal Green Centre. Although it appears pretty dull on the outside, I like this place as it is not pretentious and provide a decent space for learning ballroom dancing.

I have taken courses in art, business and foreign language departments in the past. This is a great place to learn what you are interested in. It is also a great way to find people with similar interests. It seems to be smaller than the similar adult education institute in Covent Garden, City Lit. But the quality of teaching is about the same. In fact, I believe some teachers teach at both schools.

I am a big fan. They offer wide range of courses for…read moreadults...media, art, performing art, business...you name it, for a fraction of the cost you would pay at different institutions. I did accredited acting course there and since last year I've been doing jazz dance and I've been really impressed with the quality of both courses.
