Location

Capital of England and the largest city in the British Isles, London is home to many
world-famous landmarks, including the Tower of
London, St. Paul’s Cathedral, the Royal Botanic
Gardens, Westminster Abbey, and Big Ben, an
iconic national time piece. In the 16th
century, London became a major centre for
banking, international trade, and commerce. The
Royal Exchange was founded in this time,
providing the roots of London’s banking sector. In 1708, Christopher Wren
completed St. Paul’s Cathedral. In the 18th
century, London continued its growth with the
early stirrings of the industrial revolution. Through the 19th century, London became the
world’s largest business centre and gained a reputation in
business excellence, which continues today.
London has always been a centre of art and
culture. Some of the greatest and most well-known
musicians and bands come from London. Today,
London sees over 17,000 musical performances per
year across more than 300 venues. In addition
to its historical excellence, London houses 3 of
the top 10 galleries and museums in the world,
hosts over 250 festivals per year, and presents
more live comedy shows than any other city
worldwide.

Reception from 12 pm to

ends at 4 pm. Friends and relations with
connections to Egypt are very welcome.
The first ESC London reunion was held in 1929 and has
basically
continued annually. It is an excellent opportunity to meet old school friends, make new ones, exchange stories, and spend some enjoyable hours. In October 1916,
the English School Cairo first opened its doors and had 110 pupils. This reunion will celebrate the occasion. |
