Highlights

At the hotel and restaurant

We choose comfort and stay on half-board basis in modern triple rooms in an Ibis hotel in East London. From here we can easily reach the city by subway.

We'll have breakfast at the hotel. Expect a full buffet-style English breakfast.

In the afternoon, we picnic in town with a sandwich, wrap, salad or piece of pizza (not included in the price).

In the evening we go to a restaurant. In this respect, London is a dream. There is no shortage of places to eat. So we will have dinner at a trendy Asian, at a hip burger restaurant or at a cozy Italian. Please note that drinks during dinner are not included in the price (except water).

City trips and learning to speak English, perfect combination!

The working language for this camp is, of course, English. You should already have a basic knowledge (be able to hold everyday conversations) to successfully complete this city trip.

With super fun group-building activities, we overcome our fears of speaking English. In addition, we often hit the streets to connect with London men/women.

Besides the many fleeting contacts, we also regularly take the time to have longer conversations that are sure to stick. Who will manage to find the most famous Londoner? Could we get as far as the mayor or snare a lead actor of a musical for an interview? Or do we manage to visit the soccer stadium of a London soccer club? We will challenge each other and have the best stories to tell each other in the evening!

 

City Exploration

We don't explore London in a classical or passive way. Action is the trump card.

We start our vacation in one of London's most historic neighborhoods, Greenwich, where we get to know each other better and explore the main highlights!

The next day we guide ourselves and show our groupmates around Saint Paul's Cathedral, and the Museum of London. During the London Express, we pass by the Globe, Tate Modern, London Eye and the Houses of Parliament. We end the tour at Buckingham Palace. We conclude with an evening walk past Trafalgar Square, Leicester Square and Piccadilly Circus.

Of course, the lively Portobello Road market on Notting Hill is not to be missed on the program. In which boutique would they have already had a famous actor or actress on the floor? We just find out! And in the evening we take a horror walk in the footsteps of Jack the Ripper with a local guide.

On the penultimate day, you have a choice between two top programs (to be indicated at registration). Hip birds flock to Camden Town where colorful stores, street art and performers set the tone. Harry Potter fans can take part in a Tour for Muggles organized by the Department of Tourism and Muggle Relations! Please note, places are limited for this (paid) option. So be quick about it!

In the afternoon we solve a murder in Covent Garden, where we take time to shop afterwards. We end the week with the famous and enchanting musical "Wicked," which tells the story of the friendship between the witches of Oz, Elphaba and Glinda.

Just when you think the week is over, you still have time to visit your favorite museum, neighborhood or store, buy those last souvenirs or perhaps opt for a goodbye with a high tea? This is an unforgettable week, English style, with lots of choices and undoubtedly new friends for life!
