Geography at Bishopsgate

Geography is all around us.

It is the study of the earth’s landscapes, peoples, places and environments.

‘Global warming, the spread of deserts, water shortages, the migration of peoples,
 the battles over resources such as oil and issues of world trade and debt… all this is part of modern geography.’ Source: www.geography.org.uk
