ETH Zürich ( http://www.ethz.ch/ ) for Bertrand Meyer (Eiffel), Ueli Maurer, ... EPF Lausanne ( http://www.epfl.ch/ ) for Martin Odersky (Scala), ...

Was about to say ETH Zürich too.

Not sure they have an all English program though.

Imperial College or Cambridge University. Both have excellent CS departments and lots of interesting research going on. And if you end up going to Imperial, I'll see you in October!

I went to Imperial and while it's deeply boring (for a practical person like myself, there is a LOT of theory) it is a really great course and it will set you up for a life of further learning which is after all what is important.

I've not met students from ANY other university that had such a broad and complete introduction to Software Engineering.

Definitely Imperial over Cambridge for CS (as well as most engineering and science).
