Your mission

You work for a travel agency which organizes tours of London. Your managers have decided to include in the tour of London a visit of one of its various multicultural neighbourhoods. So, you are sent in groups to visit one of these neighbourhoods to immerse yourselves in the atmosphere of this place. Back to work, you present the neighbourhood you have visited to the board of project : prepare a slideshow about this place and a talk to convince them why it’s worthwhile visiting this neighbourhood.
