London Speech Coaching & Public Speaking Training

At our London office on Regent Street, we work with professionals ready for genuine transformation. Whether you’re preparing for a board presentation, a keynote speech, or simply want to stop dreading every meeting where you might be called upon — we’ve built something different.

Our London Training Centre

You’ll find us at 207 Regent Street, London, W1B 3HH — just a few minutes walk from Oxford Circus and Bond Street stations. The location matters. When you’re already managing presentation anxiety, the last thing you need is a difficult journey.

We also understand that coming to us isn’t always practical. That’s why our coaches regularly travel to client workplaces across London — from Canary Wharf boardrooms to Soho agency offices, from Westminster government buildings to Shoreditch tech hubs.

Who We Work With

We’ve worked with thousands of professionals over fifteen years.

Individual professionals come to us when a promotion or new role demands more visibility. When you’re suddenly expected to present to the executive team, lead client pitches, or represent your department — and you feel exposed and unprepared.

C-suite executives work with us to refine their executive presence. Not because of speaking anxiety, but because they want to speak with authority and charisma. To hold a room’s attention without shouting. To handle hostile questions with grace rather than defensiveness.

Teams and departments join our corporate training programmes when an entire group’s communication needs levelling up. Sales teams who need to close more confidently. Account managers who want to build stronger client relationships. Technical teams who need to translate complexity into clarity.

5 Star Google Business Reviews

Our reputation matters – we’re proud of what our clients achieve.

    I have been attending the speaking conference accelerator (beginners) and the unstoppable speaker masterclass (Advanced) since October 2025. I have gained valuable knowledge and skills throughout these sessions. I have grown in conference … More and now able to speak in front of an audience using skills such as voice projection, stage presence, tone and pace. The atmosphere is calm, supportive and welcoming. I have made new friends and met the most interesting people along the way. I recommend public speaking academy for everyone who wants to work on personal growth, has a goal in mind and wants to be in a warm welcoming and supportive space.
  • Avatar Richard Thickpenny ★★★★★ a month ago
    I work from home so much that I rarely get to stand up and talk. The Speakers Café has proved invaluable, providing a space not only to present in different styles, but also to be part of other people’s growth as presenters. Just as importantly, … More it has helped me build genuine friendships with a supportive community I look forward to seeing each time.
  • Avatar Sehrish Qurban ★★★★★ 2 months ago
    Brilliant first session! We used games and interactive exercises to make public speaking practice fun and low-pressure. After just one class, I'm already feeling more confident. A great, engaging way to learn a crucial skill. I would … More love to continue taking the sessions because it’s helping me alot.

  • Avatar Alex Kenning ★★★★★ 4 weeks ago
    10/10 - I highly recommend Billal and The Public Speaking Academy. I engaged Billal to prepare for a keynote I was giving to 250+ potential clients - my biggest and most important talk to date.Unlike "cookie-cutter" coaches, Billal … More listened to my goals, assessed where I was at, and tailored each of our 1:1 sessions to exactly what I needed (even when I didn't know I needed it).He provided a clear structure for the presentation and expert advice on delivery that built my confidence after each session.I still had to put the work in - but his guidance was a game changer. The keynote went incredibly well, the feedback was fantastic, it built credibility, and I’m confident we’ll secure business as a result.

I also thought it was a great team building exercise. It has elevated my confidence in being able to function and present more confidently in the future.

Flexible Delivery Options

Some clients prefer the immersion of coming to our London speech training courses. Others need the convenience of coaching at their workplace. We offer both.

In-our-facilities training gives you access to our coaching with controlled environments for recording and review. Being away from your workplace means no email interruptions, no “just popping in” colleagues, complete focus.

In-house training brings our speech coaches to your London offices. Ideal for teams who need to train together or companies who want minimal disruption to their operation. We’ve delivered training in corporate headquarters, co-working spaces. Local hotel conference rooms are also effective training venues – where many experience public speaking debuts.

Most programmes combine both — initial intensive work, followed by workplace application and follow-up sessions where you actually present.

1-to-1 Private Coaching

If the idea of group training makes you want to hide, you’re not alone. Many of our London clients start with private one-to-one coaching before they ever consider a group setting.

There’s something uniquely valuable about having a coach’s complete attention. Your specific challenges, your actual presentations, your real blocks — not someone’s generic curriculum.

Our 1-to-1 speech coaching happens in dedicated private rooms convenient to you. For senior executives, we can arrange private coaching at your office or even virtual sessions if time is genuinely scarce.

You’ll work through the same proven methodology our group programmes use, but at your pace. Some clients need six sessions. Others need twenty. The common thread is that it works — we’ve seen executives go from avoiding presentations to volunteering for them.

Our Training Approach

We fuse speaking delivery skills with confident mindset transformation. This isn’t about memorising scripts or learning PowerPoint shortcuts — it’s about changing who you are when you speak.

Through demonstration micro-coaching, you’ll navigate new speaking models for your specific needs. We test what tools work in your daily life — boardroom presentations, team briefings, conference keynotes, even wedding speeches.

Our methods are practical, creative, and build on your existing strengths. We’ve learned that trying to become someone else never works. Becoming a more confident version of yourself does.
