Hi again chloetone - here are some links to summer schools in London:
Laban has excellent facilities, but not everyone likes the area of London where it is situated. Details of the 2006 Summer School here:

London Contemporary Dance School at The Place has a summer school I believe, but there is nothing up at the moment:
