WHY ENGLAND?
-
England is heaped in both history and architecture. There are so many medieval cathedrals, and Norman castles scattered across its land. In the countryside, you can see authentic thatched cottages and many fairytale palaces like Hampton Court. Many royal palaces are also available for private functions and special events. Never forget that these venues are authentic in every way which makes them unique worldwide.
-
London has to be one of the world’s iconic cities, where the letter boxes around every corner are red and our police are still warm and welcoming should you ever become lost. Buckingham Palace is the home to the British Royal Family.
-
Some of the world’s greatest events happen in the UK fixtures list. Whether it’s sailing regatta or swinging a tennis racket at Wimbledon. Enjoy the sounds of the historic Sixties and take a stroll down the famous Kings Road in Chelsea.
-
A British pub is very distinctive. With the law having been changed against smoking indoors, all eateries are now smoke-free and dining experiences are past times of enjoyment. Many British Pubs are landmarks in their own right as they are often referred to when being given directions.
-
If you enjoy eccentricity, then British culture will have you amused. From cheese rolling down hills, and tar barrels on Ottery St. Mary to Cornwall’s Morris dancing.
WHAT’S NEW IN ENGLAND
-
There are many new experimental bars, boutique hotels, and conference venues that would fit every personality category.
-
Group factory tours from automobiles to drinks are available. These are perfect locations for inspiration within engineering or just curiosity.
-
London is officially a city that does not sleep, want a cream cheese that begins at 3 am, no problem. So, there’s no need to stop having fun. The London Underground referred to as the Tube operates a 24-hour service on Friday and Saturday for quick and easy traveling into the night.
-
If you enjoy cricket, then love visiting the Lord’s Cricket Ground, or even the Oval. Further out of London, you have several like Edgbaston and Trent Bridge.
