Welcome to the London Market Language Club.

Founded in 1992, the London Market Language Exchange is supported by the International Underwriting Association and Lloyd’s of London.  Starting with one French class some 19 years ago, the clubs have since attracted hundreds of members from the City. There are now 60 conversation groups centred around eight different languages: French, German, Italian, Japanese, Portuguese, Russian, Spanish & Mandarin. Some of these classes are free, whilst others are competitively charged.

Although predominately attended by the London insurance community, the Language Clubs are now open to non-insurance professionals in the city.  In addition to social gatherings, each of the clubs offer the opportunity to learn languages at all levels either on a one-to-one basis or in weekly classes. There are now 19 tutors in all, 10 of whom are professional linguists, the rest voluntary bi-lingual leaders working in the market.

Most of the classes consist of a maximum 6 students and take place during the lunch hour or early evening, at various London Venues in the EC3 area . To view the Schedule of Classes please click here:
