Peter Ackroyd, contemporary English novelist

Your tour leader will meet you at breakfast and escort you to our designer campus building next to Aldgate underground station in the financial heart of London. Classes will follow your induction. This afternoon we will explore the local area including the great Spitalfields market. In the evening, we will be taking you out for a meal in the heart of London’s curry district – Brick Lane
Morning Classes are followed by a walking tour from the Houses of Parliament, Big Ben and all the way down to Buckingham Palace. This evening is a free evening so why not meet up with some of your classmates
Morning classes, and in the afternoon our favourite part of the city – Soho and China Town, with all its vibrancy, culture and media companies and amazing smells. You may even see some film, music or TV stars. This evening, we stay in Soho to visit the famous Soho Cinema to see one of the latest films.
Morning classes – then off to the oldest public museum in world, the British Museum. All that history can make you thirsty! In the evening we will solve that problem by touring around London’s historic pubs.
Big day today – no classes on Friday, so you can have a bit of a lie-in. Then later in the day we will take you to the Tower Of London, built by command of William the Conqueror in the 11th century and today home to the Crown Jewels. A night off tonight as you will need to be well rested for the early start tomorrow morning.
And so to Cambridge, by train. The prettiest of all the university towns with delightful medieval architecture set by the river in the countryside. We’ll be taking you to see Kings College Chapel – the most beautiful of all the university buildings. Free evening tonight so you can relax after a long day

Really this is a rest day as you will probably need it – but if you like we can head over to Brick Lane market – for some bargains. Free evening tonight so you can relax after a long day.
Day 12
Thursday Day 13
Friday Day 14
Saturday
Morning classes and talking of class we will use the afternoon to explore London’s classiest and most expensive borough- Knightsbridge, home to Harrods. In the evening, we will head over the river to the Tate Modern – an enormous gallery of modern art and trendiness!
Morning classes and then get ready to see the city from the best point in town – on board a cruise ship on the River Thames – Saling from Westminster to Greenwich – with full commentary on what you can see all the way along. An evening in Greenwich, next to the river in a pub in London in the summer – ideal.
Morning classes and then a much more traditional art experience at the National Gallery. With more than 2,300 works of art on display there is something for every taste. A free evening – give your feet a rest!
Morning Classes and then later in the day something really special – we are going to take you for a traditional high tea at a London hotel – a very memorable experience. In the evening - you had better get ready to laugh as we will be taking you to a comedy club.
No classes as it is your last full day in London – so this day is yours to do with as you wish –perhaps some shopping, maybe some more culture, possibly seeking some of more secret London. In the evening we will be taking you for a farewell fish and chips supper and what could be a more London thing to do on your last night
Time to go – pack your bag, say goodbye to your new friends and set off for home, with a head full of lifelong memories. Thanks so much for coming to taste Infinite London
