Hello All:
I am in the process of researching the London Business School and had an opportunity to attend the Info Session in London. As of now it would be in a daily log format but I would be rearranging it to a better format soon.

http://blog.students.london.edu/Comparison between Wharton and LBShttp://poetsandquants.com/2010/07/21/london-business-school-vs-the-wharton-school/Program DurationOne can complete his MBA in 15 months, 18 months or 21 months. The Duration depends on how do you want to allocate your time on Studies/Internships/Social activities etc.I felt that 18 months was the most popular option.
Placement and Internship Process overviewhttp://www.london.edu/assets/documents/theschool/London_Business_School_Guide_to_Recruitment_201011.pdfHow much does the LBS MBA Cost?The fee for MBA2013 is £49,900. The figure covers the full 15-21 months of tuition and course materials.
Talking to students at LBS I felt that a single guy would spend around £1800 to live a decent life and if you make international trips as part of your MBA that could come close to £3000. I think a pessimistic estimate could be close to £90,000
