Away from the mania of Mount Road, a lush lawn and creeping bougainvillea greet you as you walk into the tranquillity of the British Council premises in Chennai.

Painted a fuchsia pink and tangerine orange, this contemporary and inspiring building provides the perfect ambience to learn English.

Learning English has never been more enjoyable and interesting. Come visit us and change your mind about language learning.
