Winter Break
If you have limited time for an Education Abroad experience, and would like to experience exciting London during the Christmas holiday season (when it is blissfully free of tourists), then this program may be perfect for you.
This program provides you with a wide variety of cultural and social experiences. We stay in a three-star hotel in the very center of London, just two minutes’ walk from Russell Square. From there you are within easy walking or Underground distance of literally 100s of exciting activities.
