Exercise 1: understanding / giving directions

Being able to ask for directions is crucial when visiting a city that one isn’t familiar with. Even today, with all the possibilities available to you on your smartphone, it might come in handy when your battery dies on you. Imagine having to get by without a GPS in your pocket: you would have to rely on the help of friendly locals to find your way.

In this exercise, you will try to find your way around Victorian London as it was in the 1800s. Download the map of what London actually looked like back then, watch the video and try to find your way.
