While we’re not able to enjoy London in quite the way we’d like to at the moment, we haven’t stopped thinking (and reading!) about what an amazing city it is - in fact, we agree with Bill Bryson in his ‘Notes from a Small Island’ that it is “the most wonderful city in the world”!

Do you have any favourite books, films or TV shows that are about or set in London? Or even a quotation that celebrates it? Show our fabulous city some love and let us know your recommendations in the comments! 🥰 Mary will start you off with one of her favourite novels: ‘The Book of Dave’ by Will Self. 📚🎞

We should be on our fall midterm break right now, and ordinarily we’d have a staff & faculty dinner (ostensibly to discuss how the programme is going, but really just because we like each other’s company! 😊) but it’s a bit tricky at the moment! So last week we had a virtual social and it was sooooo great to see everyone (well, we could *hear* susie at least - her webcam was playing up! 😆 - and there were a few folks missing due to other commitments). We’re all safe and well and keeping busy and we can’t wait till we’re able to welcome students back to London! We hope you’re all doing well across the pond, friends! 🇬🇧❤️🇺🇸

(Check out the main GEO website for our 2021 in-person programmes and some cool remote offerings.)

[sound on] What’s this? Have we left London and escaped to the countryside? Nope, and we wouldn’t want it any other way! 😊

A few locations and landmarks from our London theatre walking tour! How many do you recognise? Which ones are you most excited to see/revisit in real life? Are there any that don’t appear here that you’d like us to feature?

Did you know that Shakespeare’s Globe theatre was built by an American? 🤔 Well, thanks to our theatre tutor Althea, you do now!

This is a short excerpt from a (socially distanced!) theatre walking tour of London that we recorded last week to broadcast to one of our remote summer experiences. In the fall we will be offering similar live educational walking tours and lectures from famous London landmarks so you can not only hear from our fabulous local faculty and staff but also see what London is like at this peculiar time! We hope it’ll add a little bit of London magic to your online classes and make you want to come here even more!

Amanda: hello old friend!
Mary: aww, nice to see you too after all these months!
Amanda: I was talking to the building... 😆

Well, slowly but surely London is opening up and it feels sooooooo good to be back at Great James Street and seeing some of our lovely colleagues (albeit just one day a week and 2 metres away)!

It’s strange to think that this week we would normally be running around preparing for our fall semester. We’re so disappointed that it can’t go ahead this year, but we’re hopeful we will be running in-person programmes soon.🤞 Stay tuned and stay safe folks! ❤️

Hopefully you can tell from Mary’s eyes that she’s smiling under her (homemade!) mask! Why? Because she had to go into the GEO London Centre and got to sit on the top deck of a shiny red London bus on the way! She is pleased to report that the London Centre is safe and well, as are nearby Caffe Capital, Jolly Fryer, and Pret A Manger - GEO student culinary staples! London is gradually opening up, and we hope to welcome you back to our glorious city sooner rather than later. Till then: stay safe friends!

Happy birthday to William Shakespeare! It is said

Happy birthday to William Shakespeare!
It is said that he wrote King Lear (and a few more!) while self-isolating from various outbreaks of bubonic plague during the late 16th and early 17th centuries. What is less know is that between 1603 and 1613 Shakespeare’s Globe Theatre was closed for 78 of those 120 months, so he had plenty of time on his hands and writing was kinda his thing anyway (and as far as we know he didn’t have Netflix to distract him!), so big deal, right? 😋

Anyway, the point here: social distancing is REALLY HARD so don’t beat yourself up if you’ve not written a 100,000-word novel or composed a symphony or painted a masterpiece! Adversity may create great art like King Lear but, let’s face it, not very often! The best thing we can do is to focus on keeping ourselves safe and well, both physically and mentally, at this strange time.
That said, if you want to keep yourself occupied there’s nothing better than learning something new. We’re keeping our brains active by working on lots of exciting new plans and continuing to support you, our fabulous GEO London students, in your international educational and experiential endeavours!
As Shakespeare himself said, “What is past is prologue” and we at GEO in London are building on our collective knowledge and very much looking to the future! 🙂

Well, what a strange few weeks! All of our London

Well, what a strange few weeks!

All of our London staff and faculty are now working from home. As you can see, Mary has acquired a couple of feline admin assistants! 😸😸 Mary, kalyn and Iain are all busy planning for the year ahead as best they can given the changing situation. Here they are having a Zoom chat this morning 😊 The show must go on, even if it’s with a slightly different script!
Our spring semester students left the U.K. last week and we only had a couple of days to amend their courses so we could start teaching online as of yesterday. The experiential learning part of the programme is obviously out the window, but students will still receive expert tuition and advice and, very importantly, university credit! 👍

Keep an eye on the main GEO site for any programme updates (you can find the link via their Instagram @geoabroad). There probably won’t be all that many posts on here for a little while but we wanted you to know that we’re all safe and well, and we hope you are too.
And do say hi in the comments - we’d love to hear from you! You folks are the reason we do (and love!) our jobs. 🙂

Stonehenge, sunshine, sorority squat, and Susie (reading from Thomas Hardy’s Tess of the D’Urbervilles) - a winning combination for a programme excursion! 💫
