London Visit

On Thursday, July 18th, Cam Prep students visited London with their Major course. In order to experience the city as creative writers, our class traced the footsteps of the celebrated Bloomsbury group. We've been reading Virginia Woolf and experimenting with stream of consciousness prose in class, so the British Library, British Museum, and Russell Square seemed like the perfect destinations!
We marvelled at the BL's George III Collection of old books and manuscripts (we made lists of what might lurk beneath their covers), and visited their current exhibit Propaganda: Power and Persuasion.

We had lovely weather for our walk through Russell Square towards the Museum. Once inside, students were free to examine Roman antiquities, Victorian jewelry, medieval armour, and anything else that took their fancy! We ended the day with free time in Covent Garden.
