The Week in Photos: Big Events in London

Vladimir, our Russian Country Manager, was at the Opening Ceremony.

“I feel really lucky to be in London right now! Attending the show was the experience of a lifetime! My favorite moment was the Queen’s appearance. I’m a huge fan of the royal family.”

I got to see a game of women’s basketball!

“I grew up in East London and I feel so proud that people from all over the world are coming here this summer to take part in such an iconic event. I loved watching women’s basketball and even though I wasn’t a fan before, I’ll definitely be following it now!”

Candida, our very own Blog Editor, saw the road cycling events, which took place close to her home.

“Watching the road cycling races was amazing! Seeing a free event with sidewalks full of people was so much fun; everyone was cheering and after, we all ran to the pub to watch the end of the race!”

Chase, our Content Editor and blog contributor went to see Team GB play football at the iconic Wembley Stadium!

“The stadium was completely packed, and even though I don’t usually follow football, it was awesome to watch Team GB in front of a home crowd!”

James, from Kaplan Pathways visited central London to catch a game of beach volleyball.

“Summer in London was fantastic for me because it was a once in a lifetime experience, having the games in the city I live. I was particularly impressed by the friendly and helpful staff at all the events that I went to. In a nutshell, it was superb!”
