Bespoke School Trips to

London

Whatever period your department is covering, a London history school trip can put your students in front of the objects and the buildings themselves. Two thousand years of it sit within a few Tube stops.

The British Museum is the usual anchor, and the collections stretch far beyond Britain. The Imperial War Museum handles the twentieth century, and the Clink Prison Museum covers the medieval and early modern city. The Natural History Museum is there if your trip runs across departments. Groups often add a flight on the London Eye, a West End show and a group meal in the evening.

The Warner Bros Studio Tour and the Making of Harry Potter is a popular addition, and it earns its place with groups who have worked hard. London suits Key Stage 3 to 5, and the trip can be built around a single period or run across several.

Thirty years of running London trips means we know which museums take groups well and how to fit a day together without losing half of it to the Tube. Tell us your dates and year group and we will build the trip around them.

Please note, we do not offer daytrips, we offer bespoke overnight school trips to London only.
