Frequently Asked Questions

Why choose an educational school trip to London?

Served by international airports both in and outside the city, and home to a vast underground subway system, London’s transport links mean that literature, drama, and technology are within grasp of either a shorter or longer school trip. For those willing to venture beyond the bounds of the city, educational trips in London also uniquely position groups to explore the wider south of England and beyond, exploring even more of the country’s historical offerings.

When is the best time to visit London?

The city’s status as an international destination means that the June-August summer season is a busy one. To make sure you’re avoiding tourist crowds and making the most of milder weather, planning a school trip to London in the spring or autumn helps to ensure that you avoid higher prices and work around exam schedules
