Befriend other students, maybe even the entire group, as you spend a few minutes getting to know each other in a relaxed setting. The format is similar to speed dating only you’re speed… friending! 

Once you've mingled and made new pals, we'll head out together to the Houses of Parliament. 

Timings

Come and join for Speedfriending in Phineas bar from 10:00am. Everyone will head to the Houses of Parliament together at 11am! 

Your guide will drop you off at the start of the tour and you're free to explore for as long as you wish after that with your new friends. 

There's no set time for the tour, as it's self guided, but you'll need to allow about 90 minutes to complete the route.
