The 87 girls took a tour of London on their first day in the city after landing. They visited some of the famous locations on the journey, such as Big Ben, the Houses of Parliament, Westminster Abbey, and Trafalgar Square. They enjoyed a night at the Lyceum Theatre in the West End watching 'The Lion King'.
The girls went to The Natural History Museum on day two, which has one of the world's greatest collections of historical artefacts. They took their time looking around the massive cathedral-like structure's sculptures and frescoes. Four coloured zones that focus on topics including the environment, evolution, the planet, and wildlife make up the museum's divisions. They then took pleasure in a trip to the fascinating Science Museum. It was the ideal location for someone with an inquisitive mind, full of amazing things to do and explore.
The Victoria and Albert Museum was the next stop on the itinerary. The V&A's collection of art spans 5,000 years, from prehistoric periods to the modern era. The Mouse Trap, an Agatha Christie play, was the entertainment for this evening at the St Martin's Lane Theatre. The play's 70th anniversary was this week.
On day three, the girls boarded a capsule for a 30-minute spin of the London Eye and marvelled at the breath-taking sights of London. After that, they went to the Royal Observatory Greenwich's Planetarium and Astronomy Centre, where they experienced an amazing adventure through space. They went to the Prime Meridian in Greenwich, planting one foot on the eastern and the other on the western hemisphere of our planet.
The girls ended their evening at what was a highlight for many at Winter Wonderland in Hyde Park.
On the final day before flying home, the girls went to Oxford Street to do a spot of shopping.
"A great trip was had by all where many memories were made," said Sheree Murphy, one of the teachers who travelled with them on the trip.
