London
About this tour
London the United Kingdom’s largest city and the capital. Located on the River Thames in south-east England. The city offers something for everyone and is a great destination for curriculum trips as well as reward trips.
Study trips to London can be as diverse as the city itself, from a large selection of museums covering an array of topic areas, world class art collections, and some of the best known tourist attractions such as Buckingham Palace, the Houses of Parliament, Westminster Abbey and St Paul’s Cathedral. Whatever part of the curriculum teachers wish to bring to life, the answer can be found in London.
Experience some of the world’s best live theatrical performances by watching a performance in the West End. We recommend the following shows which are best suited for pupils in primary &, middle schools; The Lion King, Wicked, Back to the Future, Matilda the Musical, Mrs Doubtfire and Six.
If your trip is curriculum-based, one of our tour managers will be happy to discuss your learning objectives with you. We want your group to achieve the best educational benefits from the tour, no matter how many subjects or topics you wish to cover and of course including the fun element.
