On Tuesday 6th December year 10 & 11 GCSE Geography students braved the cold to travel, by mini bus, to London to investigate aspects of "Urbanisation" and "Globalisation". On arrival at Blackheath we walked through Greenwich Park to the Royal Observatory where we were treated to some spectacular views of London. We then Travelled by river bus to London Docklands to Investigate how much the area has changed since the 1980's. 

After a whistle-stop tour of the area we picked up the river bus again and travelled to The Embankment. We then embarked on a tour of central London taking in The Houses of Parliament, Whitehall, Trafalgar Square, Piccadilly Circus, Regent Street, Carnaby Street, China Town and Covent Garden. On the final leg we travelled back to Greenwich from The Embankment, again by river bus where we thoroughly enjoyed the stunning sight of the Christmas illuminations on both banks of the Thames.
