London Dungeon
Transport
yourself back to the darkest moments in the capital’s history
within the deep depths of the London Dungeon. Live actors,
shows, two rides and interactive special effects ensure that you
face your fears head on in this unique ninety minute experience.
Everything you see is based on real historical events from ‘Jack
the Ripper’ to ‘The Great Fire of London’. Now with two scary
rides the London Dungeon provides a thrilling and fun experience
that will leave you screaming for more! Are you brave enough?
Tower Bridge
Completed in
1894, this famous Bridge on the River Thames has become our
symbol for the College. Tower Bridge also known as ‘London
Bridge’ was instantly welcomed as a London icon and one of the
great engineering wonders of its age. You have the opportunity
to go inside and explore its history, uncover its secrets and to
enjoy the stunning views from its high-level walkways situated
42 metres above the River Thames.
Borough Market
Borough Market is one of London's oldest wholesale fruit and
vegetable markets, established by Act of Parliament in 1756 and
administered by 21 trustees who have to live in the local
community. It covers an area of 4.5 acres. Operating in
the early hours of the morning, the streets used to be quiet and
empty during the day. But not any more. Known in its heyday as
London's Larder, the capital relied on Borough Market for its
essential supplies. It is now being reborn as a retail centre of
excellence in addition to the trade activities
London Eye
Night or day
the London Eye offers spectacular views across London and its
famous landmarks.
The British Airways
owned London Eye carries 3.5 million customers every year. You
would need 6,680 fully booked British Airways Boeing 747-400
jumbo jets to move that number of fliers!
Each flight
takes
approximately 30 minutes in one of the 32 high-tech glass
capsules where you can enjoy the skyline at your leisure.
HMS Belfast
HMS
Belfast is one of the two ships forming the final sub-class of
the Royal Navy’s Town-class cruisers, the other being HMS
Edinburgh. HMS Belfast is now London’s Floating Naval Museum
which exhibits computerised interactive displays to demonstrate
techniques from shipbuilding to modern prefabrication methods.
Belfast has appeared briefly in several films. Harry Potter and
his friends fly past her in ‘Harry Potter And The Order Of The
Phoenix’, and she can be seen in an aerial shot of the Thames in
‘The Hitchhiker’s Guide To The Galaxy’.
Hays
Galleria
Built in
the 1850’s, Hays wharf took deliveries from ships from all over
the world and the area became known as the ‘Larder of London’.
At the galleria there are many traditional craft and market
stalls decorating the walkways, sharing the spectacular
surroundings with the shops. Open everyday, the stalls offer a
variety of products from jewellery to paintings, ceramics to
designer children’s wear. There is also a variety of special
events held regularly in the galleria. The galleria is the
perfect place to take a leisurely stroll by the waterfront or
simply sit and watch the world go by the unique atmosphere.
