Visits & Attractions in London

This excursion is included in the price of the tour for groups travelling by coach.

“Through the Stage Door” at Theatre Royal Drury Lane“Through the Stage Door” is a unique opportunity to go behind the scenes of the most famous theatre in the world, the Theatre Royal Drury Lane, and experience a world usually reserved for those who enter through the stage door. Three professional actors guide you from the luxury of the royal boxes to the workings of the below–stage machinery, and bring to life a myriad of characters from over 300 years of history and ground breaking performances.

This is a magical theatrical experience unlike any other theatre tour and offers students the chance to see a theatre come alive.

From £11.00 per student.

To round off your visit, in the Tombs you can come face-to-face with all manner of gruesome creatures as you make your way through the catacombs. Expect the unexpected as you feel your way around and be careful of anybody suddenly joining your group – they might not be all that they seem! From £11 per student.

To enjoy even more for your money, why not take advantage of free admission to several of London’s leading museums and galleries.

FREE Entry to Museums & Galleries

British MuseumThe British Museum is home to one of the world’s finest collections of artefacts and statues dating from ancient Egypt to Europe and America in the early 20th Century. The museum is a great resource for many schools and caters for all age groups. This magnificent collaboration of human history is also valuable as a general interest visit.

Tate ModernHoused in the former Bankside Power Station, Tate Modern displays the Tate collection of international modern art from 1900 to the present day, including major works by Dali, Picasso, Matisse, Rothko and Warhol as well as contemporary work by artists such as Dorothy Cross, Gilbert & George and Susan Hiller. There is also a full range of special exhibitions and a broad public programme of events throughout the year.

Science MuseumThe Science Museum is an impressive tribute to every conceivable area of science, illustrating in depth and detail the many developments in science, technology and medicine that have played a part in shaping the modern world. The Museum has broken away from the usual stereotypical collection and instead offers a more ‘hands-on’ approach to science. No matter what the subject, the Science Museum has a factual and fun way to deliver information.

Imperial War MuseumTo mark the start of the Centenary of the First World War, a transformed IWM London reopened in July 2014 with ground-breaking new First World War Galleries and a dramatic new atrium featuring key stories and iconic objects from their collections. The Imperial War Museum is unique in its coverage of conflicts, especially those involving Britain and the Commonwealth, from the First World War to the present day. It seeks to provide for, and to encourage, the study and understanding of the history of modern war and ‘war-time experience’. Groups can undertake a teacher-led visit using a variety of downloadable learning resources, or enjoy a curriculum-linked learning session with Museum educators.

The collection contains over 2,300 paintings by many of the world’s most famous artists.

Natural History MuseumThe Natural History Museum is the UK’s national museum of natural history, and a centre of scientific excellence in taxonomy and biodiversity.

Victoria and Albert MuseumThe V&A is comprised of the museum at South Kensington, the V&A Museum of Childhood at Bethnal Green, and the archives and stores at Blythe House, Kensington Olympia. V&A South Kensington is the world’s greatest museum of art and design, with collections unrivalled in their scope and diversity. The V&A houses an astonishing collection of decorative art and design; its holdings of ceramics, costumes, jewellery, sculpture, prints and photographs are amongst the largest and most comprehensive in the world. Self-guided visits, workshops and talks all need to be booked in advance.

Bank of England MuseumThe Bank of England Museum offers an insight into the history and role of The Bank of England in the world of finance today. The Museum contains a large collection of coins and notes, as well as gold bars dating from the 15th Century to the modern market bar. In addition, inter-active systems allow visitors to look behind the doors of the nation’s central bank or to examine the intricacies of bank note design and production, and a computer-driven simulation gives visitors an idea of what it is like to deal on the US dollar/Sterling spot market.

Churchill Museum and Cabinet War RoomsIn 1940, as the bombs rained down on London, Winston Churchill, his cabinet, his Chiefs of Staff and his Intelligence chiefs were meeting below ground in a fortified basement in Whitehall known as The Cabinet War Rooms. When the war ended, the lights which had burned constantly for six years were switched out and the site became silent. Today visitors can see it just as it looked during the war. Free for under-15s.
