Postgraduate Construction Field Trips December 2021

With field trips off the agenda for most of 2020 and 2021, the postgraduate students in construction were making up for lost time in December 2021. First, a field trip to the HQ of CABI in Wallingford to find out more about their work...

The second field trip in December 2021 was largely self-directed with a series of meeting points and pre-reading about all the developments prior to visiting is the best way to get full benefit from the trip. The trip focused on 4 major development areas in London:

Paddington Basin
Kings Cross
The Millennium Bridge, Bankside and the Tate Modern
Canary Wharf and North Greenwich

And now for the photos. See what you can spot...

The River Thames

Tower Bridge

The Emirates Air Line - cable car to Greenwich

Lots of development happening in Greenwich

And the final destination: Canary Wharf

Never forget to look UP. Interesting ceilings of London...
