RHA Year 13 Business students recently enjoyed an inspiring and educational trip to Canary Wharf, London’s world-famous financial district. The visit offered students a valuable opportunity to connect classroom learning with real-world business practice. Throughout the day, students explored the area’s impressive skyline, home to global organisations such as HSBC, Barclays, and JP Morgan, and gained insight into how large financial institutions operate within the UK economy.

The group took part in a guided tour that highlighted the history and transformation of Canary Wharf—from its origins as one of the busiest docks in the world to its redevelopment into a thriving centre of finance, technology, and professional services.

Students were fascinated by how innovation and investment have reshaped the area into a global business hub.
