Good news! Please note:
You will have a four-day weekend your first full weekend in London. No class Friday July 14 and Monday July 17. Feel free to travel those days, but don't plan on leaving before 10 p.m. Thursday July 13, and you must be back in London by Monday night July 17th at the absolute latest. Remember, the cardinal rule of British Studies is that you cannot miss class. Missing a class drops your grade by one letter.
