London Residential-1 night
Our adventure begins with an early morning train journey to Euston Station. Our London experience starts off with a trip to the Tower of London where we get up close to the Royal Collection- Crown jewels. We will also learn all about the historic events that took place there from the castle guards themselves, the Yeoman Warders – Beefeaters, who have guarded the castle and the precious jewels since Tudor Times. Our journey will then take us through the streets of London soaking up all of the cities culture and viewing the mesmerising landscapes as we make our way to the world famous River Thames. We will then enjoy an educational river boat cruise before heading on board the London Eye where we will have a birds eye view of everything the city has to offer. From here, we will head off to a local restaurant for a meal with our friends before heading to London’s West End to view a West End Theartre performance. Day 2 begins with a stroll through St James’ Park to Buckingham Palace where will watch the changing of the guard before walking down the famous Mall to Trafalgar Square. As well as viewing even more of the cities famous landmarks, along the way we will then have a spot of lunch and some souvenir shopping before heading back to Euston to make our journey home. Our trip to London enhances our knowledge of the Capital City to assist us with our learning for our Autumn 2 quality text – The London Eye Mystery. We will also take experience from West End professionals to produce our own version of the show that we see in our end of year leavers performance.
