Discover the Classical World in London

Our GCSE and A-Level Classics trip to London is a carefully designed 3-day tour offering immersive experiences aligned with exam board content. Students will explore Greek and Roman culture, mythology, religion, language, and legacy through artefacts, live theatre, museum visits, and archaeological sites. With access to internationally important collections and Roman remains, this city-based tour transforms classroom learning into an unforgettable real-world encounter.

Curriculum Relevance

This trip is tailored to enhance the key components of the GCSE and A Level Classical Civilisation and Latin specifications:

  • Ancient Greece and Rome
    The British Museum’s artefacts deepen understanding of temple architecture, material culture, religion, and daily life.
    Roman London and the Mithraeum illustrate urbanisation, imperialism, and cultural exchange in the Roman Empire.
  • Mythology and Classical Literature
    The National Gallery and V&A reinforce mythological themes and iconography found in OCR and Eduqas set texts (e.g. Heracles, Theseus, Olympian gods).
    Shakespeare’s Globe offers a rich insight into Classical reception — how ancient themes were reinterpreted in later literature and drama.
  • Latin Language and Culture
    Students studying Latin gain access to real inscriptions and Latin artefacts in context.
    Optional language activities: Latin scavenger hunts, basic epigraphy, etymology workshops, or translation games available on request.

Why Book This Trip?

  • Fully aligned with Classics and Latin exam specifications
  • Optional workshops and guided tours led by subject specialists
  • Central London accommodation with full board options
  • Full planning support, including risk assessments and itinerary customisation
