Join your peers to celebrate completing your first two weeks of Summer School!

There are many ways to see the sights of London but drifting gracefully down the River Thames, with a drink in your hand, is an opportunity not to be missed. The Pearl of London has one of London’s largest open air decks on the Thames, making it one of the best places to see London at night.

Glide effortlessly from Festival Pier, taking in sights such as Tower Bridge, The London Eye, The Houses of Parliament, and Big Ben. Once you have had your fill of sightseeing, why not hit the dance floor and dance the night away? Or enjoy the selfie mirror and a bit of magic…
