The 30 Best School trips in London

“The Paddington Bear Experience was a truly special day out for both adults and children. The live actors were brilliant and engaging. The set and scenery was incredible - lots of attention to detail! Booking was made easy by the lovely staff. Overall, it was a memorable day out and special treat at Christmas time.”

“Words cannot fully express our gratitude to St. Panteleimon Nursery. A heartfelt thank you from our entire family for the love and care you've shown to our beloved child (Viaan Gupta). Your warmth and welcoming nature have meant so much to both us as parents and our child. The staff have been incredibly supportive, and our child has loved every moment, taking their first steps towards independence. You were always there whenever we needed help, support, or advice, and always with a smile and kindness. We knew the nursery had an outstanding rating by Ofsted, and now we truly understand why. Our son has learned so much and had a wonderful experience at nursery. A special thank you to Ms. Andri Kyriakidou, Anjal Ahluwalia, Neha Vekariya, Khloe Barton, and Mr. Christos Kyriakidis for all that you've done for my child (Viaan Gupta) ! Thank you! :)”

“Just recently finished the PADI open water diver course with London School of Diving. The facilities for the first part was perfect in the small pool and large 3m pool at the headquarters in Chertsey. George was my instructor for the first part, making the whole experience enjoyable and inspiring confidence by taking each new skill step by step, making sure I learnt at my own pace. My second part of open water was undertaken at Wraysbury Lake near Heathrow, and what a fantastic 2 days it was. Swan, Roxy and George were my instructors and they did everything to make sure my experience was enjoyable, whilst gaining all the necessary skills I need to stay safe in open water. The second day had a great dive exploring all the interesting sights at the bottom of Wraysbury Lake. I can not recommend this course highly enough for anyone thinking of taking their first steps into a wonderful world of adventure underwater. Big thanks go out to Swan, Roxy and George.”

“Had my son's 5th birthday party here and him and his friends were having a blast. The trampoline area is big but not too overwhelming, several staff members were looking after everyone for safety reasons. The UV party room was excelent, the kids were all delighted. The food was fresh and tasty, the pizza was warm and delicious. The staff member was attentive and helpful in the room. I wish I took her name to put it here. We're all felt very well looked after and not rushed at all even if we passed our 30 minutes time in there. Thank you! We will be coming back!”

“fantastic tour guide - can’t remember their name but they were incredible (factual and funny,, a great combo) - took 2 hours to go all the way round but it felt like no time - would do again!!”

“I used to go to this school and it's simply amazing. The teachers are lovely and you learn very intresting things”

“Now that I'm in Year 10 looking back this was a fantastic primary school and gave me a good start to life. Good Facilities, Great teachers. All around great primary school”

“Great family friendly atmosphere and we really enjoyed the experience love the football pitch Great fun! The zip line bit expensive 3 host for £12 if you have several kids but nevertheless kids had a wonderful time. Would love to see a more baby friendly area from the soft play with accessibility for people with disabilities. The food and drink where great quality we enjoyed the mac and cheese bites and chicken tenders yum yum!”

“Our daughter (now in year 8) has been at Edge Grove since year 6 having spent all her previous schooling in the French system. We joined the school at a time when the new headmaster, Me Evans, was still putting in place his vision, but we felt that he knew exactly what he was wanting to do, and we completely bought into that vision. We have not been disappointed. The pastoral care has been first rate, particularly helping our daughter in the transition to a British Independent school. From what we have seen, any pastoral issues are dealt with speedily and sensitively. Great emphasis is put on politeness and creating the right environment for learning, whilst enjoying everything that the school has to offer. The education curriculum is innovative, supportive and stretching, and the school is doing a fantastic job of supporting all year 8 pupils in preparation for CE, truly differentiating based on the schools they are applying to and the exams they will be taking. Extra-curriculum activities are great too - the Director of Music is fantastic and the improvement in the quality of all school music activities has been marked, while the head of girls' games is really raising the bar too. Staff go beyond what one might expect and respond rapidly and helpfully to any questions or concerns. The parent community is friendly and welcoming. The school certainly deserves its recent rating of Excellent in all regards from the Independent Schools Inspection. I highly recommend the school to any prospective parent.”

“Impressed with the practical approach that Hult has and the team work in the context of multi cultural interactions. The new curriculum puts an accent on practical skills. The campus is in a good location and the professors were very nice!”

“i had a really great time at the monkey valley. The zoo staff member was amazing she knew all the monkey names and was so cheerful and bubbly when delivering all her knowledge of the colobus monkeys. I loved it because i love all kinds of monkeys and seeing them and being among them just made my day”

“Last week, my husband, our kid a nd I visited this spot during our London trip—£25 for 1.5 hours was so worth it! There were tons of fun things to do. We played the claw machines over and over, and that excitement of trying to grab a toy was awesome. We even ended up with two rubber balls—such a nice little win! All the staff here were amazing. The albanian manager was really friendly as well. Shoutout to Paulina too—she was lovely! We’ll 100% come back the next time we’re in London. Highly recommend it for families!”

“I was impressed by how organized and informative the London Zoo is. I visited with students to do a conservation workshop, and the quality of learning was outstanding. The zoo was incredibly clean, and constructed with so much purpose and intentionality. I appreciated that many animals that require larger enclosures were not located at this property and instead out at Whipsnade, though I still found it a little jarring having a zoo in the middle of a city, with roads literally passing through the middle of it. However, we saw how much work was being done to provide support and care for the animals, and it was clear that they are intentional in all they are doing. Would definitely recommend and visit again.”

“It is the best school of my life”

“It's a Special Needs School and my son is enrolled there. Their Philosophy is the Child must not leave at the end of the day feeling like they've had a bad day! If only my work could take up the same ethos! It's a Good School that has a Great Heart and Soul...what more could you want for your Little One!?!!”
