3 day school trip to London

DS is in Y6 and their "leaving" trip is a 3 day trip to London (we are in Liverpool), see the sights, catch a show, houses of parliament etc

Am I being a miserablist to think this is a bit excessive for 10 & 11 year olds? I think they are too young to be in a capital city for 3 days withouth their family. I am also concerned about the logistics of 30 kids on tubes, 30 kids in a hotel etc etc. Not generally a worrier, DS has done scout camp etc - is confident and independent.

I think it would be great for them all Do Something together to mark the end of their time at the school but this seems.....unnecessary?

My dd's year six trip was nine hours by coach (Melbourne to Canberra) for five nights. There were 156 dc. She loved it although it sounded dull as ditchwater to me.
