London 2014
"London was an educational trip as well as being fun. We first went to Freud's house and saw where he carried out his psychoanalysis and witnessed the couch he died on. We also used the busy underground to travel around to Madame Tussauds, London Eye, Houses of Parliament and the Tower of London! We learnt about the history of London which was interesting. We also saw London at night on the ghost bus which was incredible! The trip was safe, educational and fun!" By Aishah Maqsood & Sofia Bibi, Year 13.
