Hello! I like this activity so much.
I think it’s a good idea to practice listening and reading skills. Also, it’s a fun way to learn new things about London, because students have to investigate if they want to answer the questions correctly.

Thanks for sharing.

Hello! I love this activity because it is a good way to bring our students to the original English. In addition, the activity is different from those that we can always find in textbooks. I think that if it is put into practice it will have very good results among the pupils because it is mainly very funny.
