BA (Hons) Interior Design London Research Trip Nov 06



The first year students on the BA (Hons) Interior Design course enjoyed their annual study trip to London which this year included getting dizzy on the slides at the Tate Modern.....drinking Port in an historic subterranean bar...freezing at the Millenium wheel....a night of Jazz in the King's head...a visit to the mysterious Sir John Soane's museum... being evicted from the new Children's museum...and hot pasties in Covent Garden...plus many other truly amazing events.

The trip played part of the ongoing research students enjoy in relation to their current project...in this case lighting effects... the results of which will be posted soon.
