London is a Mecca for
tourists and business visitors, who are drawn to its culture, music, shops and
rich history.
Many people will have
London on their bucket list, as this vibrant city has so much to offer. Indeed,
it can be difficult to know what to see if you have a limited time in the
capital city or are on a budget.
London Has So Much to Offer
Visitors can follow in
the footsteps of literary giants such as Charles Dickens, William Shakespeare
or Sir Arthur Conan Doyle, who created the eccentric investigator Sherlock
Holmes.
Its impressive buildings
have played a major part in some of the finest movies in the world, including
the James Bond films.
History enthusiasts will
enjoy a visit to Buckingham Palace, the Tower of London, Westminster Abbey and
the Houses of Parliament, while art lovers have so many galleries to get
through, including the Tate Modern, the National Gallery and the Hayward
Gallery.
At night, there are
restaurants serving fine cuisine from around the world, live music venues,
famous nightclubs and theatres to enjoy.
Shoppers have the choice
of Oxford Street, chic Bond Street or the landmark department stores of Harrods
and Harvey Nichols to explore.
Wembley, Chelsea FC,
Arsenal FC, Twickenham, Wimbledon and the Oval are some of the delightful
venues and teams in store for sports fans.
With so much on offer, it
is no wonder that London attracts 17.4 million international visitors a year
from all over the globe.
It's not just
holidaymakers or tour groups, however. Business travellers head to the city for
conferences and exhibitions while enjoying the sights of London.
Let a Specialist Organise
Your London Educational Tours
With so much to see and
do, it is no wonder that so many people turn to professional guides for help in
planning their trip. It makes perfect sense as they will have in-depth
knowledge of the area and can set up a bespoke itinerary to suit individual
needs.
A school group studying
history can take a look at London through the ages, from the Black Death
through to the birth of democracy and modern-day London. Architectural and
design students can visit the wonderful array of styles in London's buildings,
from the magnificent bridges to the very modern skyscrapers such as The Shard.
The person who is in
charge of organising educational trips abroad would be well advised to get help
from a specialist who can set up customised London educational tours and sort
out tickets, transport and accommodation.
These London
educational tours and student trips could be broad to give an overview
of London or can be more specific and aimed at a particular academic subject
such as art history, criminology or business and finance.
These itineraries will be
geared at different academic levels, such as college students through to
post-graduate groups. They can last from one day to a full academic year.
Putting your particular
tour in the hands of a specialist educational tour company means you will get
so much more out of your trip.
