Frequently Asked Questions

Why choose an educational school trip to London?

With international airports both in and outside the city, and a vast underground subway system, London’s transport links make it easy to access the city’s rich offerings in literature, drama, and technology, whether for a short or extended school trip. For those willing to venture beyond the city, an educational trip to London also uniquely positions groups to explore the wider south of England and beyond, uncovering even more of the country’s historical treasures. Additionally, we offer school trips to the UK that span various regions, providing students with diverse educational experiences across the country.

When is the best time to visit London on a school trip?

The city’s status as an international destination means that the June-August summer season is a busy one.
