\"London_003<\/a>Calling all Ontario teachers: You could win a trip to London! Just join the contest hosted by the\u00a0Ontario College of Teachers\u00a0<\/a>(OCT).<\/p>\n

Explorica<\/a>\u00a0has always supported the OCT, and over the past 15 years, we have worked together on a number of projects.\u00a0This year, we’re sponsoring their contest for teachers to win a trip to London!<\/p>\n

OCT has developed an app<\/a> that allows teachers to carry out transactions and services while on the go. Available in both English and French, the app provides a one-stop spot to manage all of your OCT membership benefits. If you download the app by November 30, you\u2019ll be entered into a contest to win a 5-night trip to London for two!<\/p>\n

If you\u2019ve never been to the great city of London, you must<\/em> add it to your bucket list. With an endless collection of museums, monuments and theatres…there is something for everyone.\u00a0 Most of us are familiar with the city\u2019s top attractions like Buckingham Palace, Westminster Abbey, and the River Thames. But if you\u2019re looking for a more unusual London experience, why not try one of these hidden gems<\/a> recommended by Visit London<\/a>, the city\u2019s official visitor\u2019s guide.<\/p>\n

The Upper Deck Cafe at the HMS Belfast<\/a>
\n<\/strong>With stunning views of the Thames, the Upper Deck Cafe is free to enter. Or, you could go ahead and combine it with your visit to the historic HMS Belfast!<\/p>\n

Thames Barrier<\/strong>
\nComprised of 10 steel gates and standing five storeys high, the Thames Barrier<\/a> was completed in 1982. Created to prevent floods, this beautiful piece of engineering brilliantly combines form and function. It also makes a great addition to your visit to the Thames.<\/p>\n
