City Tour and the London Eye

On Saturday, June 18, the EIL students were joined by IES Abroad London's Internship Coordinator Jacci Lawson and Profs. Berry and Aaron on a 3-hour walking tour of the City of London.  Under the direction of our tour guide (Robert), students were given a good orientation and history of the City with chances to take photos near Borough Market, Westminster Abbey, Household Calvary Museum, St. Paul's Cathedral, The Globe Theatre, and the Millennium Bridge over the Thames River.  The tour ended on the Millennium Bridge Square giving the students the opportunity to have lunch at  Borough Market before the group's scheduled entry to the London Eye, on the south bank of the Thames River.  The London Eye is Europe's tallest cantilevered observation wheel, and is the most popular paid tourist attraction in the United Kingdom with over 3 million visitors annually.
