Day 1: Settle In
Afternoon
Touch down at one of the London airports and hop on a private coach to transfer to your accommodation. Meet your guide, who will bring you up to speed with London life, as well brush you up on the trip rules and safety advice.
Evening
Enjoy a welcome dinner of traditional British food, such as fish and chips, and listen to a trip briefing.
Day 2: High Art & A Live Auction
Morning
Head to the iconic Trafalgar Square and explore the National Portrait Gallery, one of the most fascinating but often overlooked galleries in London. Get to know 200,000 famous people via their portraits, including all the British Royals (present and past).
Afternoon
You’ve spent the morning looking at high art, now it’s time to plunge down into The Vaults, London’s home for alternative arts, set in a maze of disused railway arches under Waterloo Station. In this creative, imaginative environment, roll up your sleeves and take a life drawing class. This lesson is designed to develop style and skill, whatever your ability.
Evening
Feel the anticipation in the room as people bid at a live auction. There’s no film that will get you on the edge of your seat quite as much!
