School Trips

First we teach - combining stunning interactive displays, fascinating exhibits and a thrilling attraction, the London Bridge Experience is an educational experience laced with a heavy dose of fun.

The London Bridge Experience is all about discovery. And that might be crossing a burning replica of the 17th century bridge, interacting with a computer-generated image of 'Braveheart' William Wallace or seeing an original invitation to the opening of the 1831 Sir John Rennie bridge.

On arrival at the London Bridge Experience, school parties  will be greeted by their own Victorian tour guide, who will take them via a replica of the study of architect Sir John Rennie on a stunning trip through the ages.

There are twists, turns and wonderful surprises along the way - and with such a rich, varied and occasionally bloody history, the discoveries keep on coming. Young imaginations are sparked, and teachers are given a large number of platforms for learning.
Then we take the children through the tombs! The tombs are basically a fun area, we have real life characters who will make them jump, make them laugh and scare them – just a little!

School parties do not get the full scare treatment – we are conscious that it is school children and not adults experiencing the tombs. They are a fun reward after all that learning on the London Bridge Experience!

Testimonials

"Just a quick email to say thank you for letting us know about the London Bridge Experience and helping me in organising the trip for my cadets. Everyone thoroughly enjoyed it.  It was very educational but in a fun and interactive way and the tombs were a nice finishing touch to the experience as it gave the cadets a chance to scare and be scared for a bit.  They are still raving about it every time I see them.
 
Both staff and cadets thoroughly enjoyed the day and wish to thank you and your staff for a wonderful experience."

Thank you again
regards

"I would just like to say that the 'London Bridge Experience' was excellent. The staff made our students feel welcomed and entertained throughout, even when we were queueing outside. As well as being informative and entertaining, it was an excellent way of breaking the ice with sixth form students with whom I'd had little contact and offered great opportunities for team-building. Even the next day the girls talked about the whole experience in an animated and enthusiastic way. Excellent fun!"

"Just a quick note to say thank you, all the group got something out of the trip it was historically interesting and visually well presented, but the entire group was thrilled with the very scary Tombs tour where we were pursued often in complete darkness by monsters and ghouls, it’s like a mad interactive ghost train, you have to wear hard hats and high vis jackets, both needed. Well worth the money just for this bit, especially when they come out and say they weren't scared they just happened to be holding on to the person next to them !!

Look forward to the Next visit, Thank you."
