London Maths School Trips & Tours

The museum, housed within the Bank of England, traces the history of the bank from its foundation in 1694 to its role today as the nation’s central bank. The bank has had the responsibility of setting interest rates to control inflation since 1997, and also issues bank notes and works to maintain a stable financial system.  

For the ultimate STEM engagement trip, take your group to Power Up and get straight into the action in the hands-on gaming zone. Featuring consoles and video games from the past 50 years, from Pong to Pacman, Minecraft to Mario. There’s something for everyone in your group at Power Up.  

Challenge problem-solving skills, encourage collaboration with multiplayer showdowns, and sharpen critical thinking and reasoning in a fun and relaxed environment.   

Run by Dr Matt Pritchard, who works for organisations like Royal Institution, British Science Association and The Big Bang fairs, these interactive science and maths magic shows will inspire and inform students.

Nothing is notoriously hard to grasp. However, this show will attempt to fill in the empty gaps and explain almost everything there is to know about nothing. A comedy show uniquely fusing magic, multimedia and mathematics that explores the history, maths, science and philosophy behind nothing.

Explore the city and see the maths around you with our self-guided exclusive London Maths Trail, created by Chris Olley from King’s College London. Our maths trail encourages students to use study themes such as calculations, shapes, problem solving and estimating whilst exploring the urban landscape.

Visit this striking stadium to gain an invaluable insight into modern engineering. Soak up the history of one of the world’s most iconic venues during a 90-minute tour. Take your picture in Europe’s largest press conference room, find the shirt of your favourite England player in the dressing rooms, and line up in the players tunnel before following in the footsteps of legends and walking out pitch-side.  

Why not add a workshop to your trip? Wembley Stadium offer various STEM workshops for KS2-5.

Please note that tours and workshops are not generally in operation June – August due to the concert season. 

Visit the historic site where secret British code breaking activities took place during WWII, and where the modern computer was born. Bletchley Park runs a range of guided tours and talks for groups that are designed to enthuse students about the disciplines that underpinned the code breakers’ work.

Based at Bletchley Park, this museum houses the largest collection of functional historic computers in Europe.

Step on to authentic sets, discover the magic behind spellbinding special effects and explore the behind-the-scenes secrets of the Harry Potter™ film series.

Run by Dr Matt Pritchard, who works for organisations like Royal Institution, British Science Association and The Big Bang fairs, these interactive science and maths magic shows will inspire and inform students.

Matt’s aim is to give his audience tricks they can go away and use to amaze their friends and families. However, in doing so they will be exposed to, and be using, a surprising amount of maths! Shapes, symmetry, patterns, numbers and logic form the basis of the maths behind the magic. Ideal for KS3+.

Go behind the scenes at St Paul’s to visit Wren’s ‘Great Model’, the Triforium and the Geometric Stairs. Identitfy and discuss the properties and limitations of the main building materials, experiment with tessellation and discover Wren's use of 'sacred geometry'.

This workshop will provide students with unique opportunties to witness mathematical principles in action in the masterpiece design of Wren's Cathedral, along with practical exploration of mathematical and science concepts.
