Participants should expect a physically active experience while in London. The program will involve several hours of walking each day, including walking on uneven sidewalks, navigating public transportation systems, climbing stairs, and standing for extended periods during tours and site visits. While most activities are accessible through London's extensive transportation network, students should be prepared for a moderate level of physical activity.
