On Saturday, May 31, the EIL students were joined by IES Abroad London's Customised Programmes & Projects Manager Lewis Liming and Profs. Berry and Dickerson on a 2.5-hour walking tour of the City of London. Under the direction of our tour guides (Doug and Roxanne), 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.
