It was an early start, but over 100 of us managed to get up early on Saturday morning to journey to London –the capital city of England, for a day out. Coach 1 had 15 different nationalities on board, and coach 2 had 17 nationalities –a truly multi-cultural mix!. Our tour guides imparted lots of information to us about London throughout the coach guided tour. This ranged from the differences between the City of London, and the Greater London Boroughs, which was identifiable by statues of dragons, as to the newly erected statue of Nelson Mandela in Parliament Square!
The weather remained fine all throughout the day, which was great for the optional guided walking tour, as we didn’t need our umbrellas. Ruth & Elvyn conducted optional guided walking tours which were very thorough and provided photo opportunities throughout.
The quiz on the return journey tested our knowledge and we had worthy winners on each coach! There’s so much to see and do in London that a day trip can’t do it justice, so you’ll just have to visit again! We hope the BISC trip gave you a good introduction and overview of the place the Roman’s first called Londinium.
