  England-London
• London  • Bath  • Manchester
• Oxford  • Stonehenge  • Cambridge


England is located in Western Europe islands, including one-sixth of the island of Ireland between the North Atlantic Ocean and the North Sea. London is one among the superb destinations in England. London - the grand resonance of its very name suggests history and might. Its opportunities for entertainment by day and night go on and on and on. It's a city that exhilarates and intimidates, stimulates and irritates in equal measure, a grubby monopoly board studded with stellar sights.

It's a cosmopolitan mix of third and first worlds, chauffeurs and beggars, the stubbornly traditional and the proudly avant-garde. But somehow - between Her Majesty and Boy George, Bow Bells and Big Ben, the Millennium Dome and the 2012 Olympics - it all hangs together. London is one of the favorite urban haunts of visitors to Europe because of landmark sights like Big Ben, St Paul's Cathedral and the historically rich Westminster Abbey. The city also boasts some of the world's greatest museums and art galleries, and more parkland than most other capitals.

::::::::::: Popular Destinations in England ::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::

London

London is the place where the historic past and the vibrant present come alive. A blend of history, groundbreaking architecture and culture has created an amazing and constantly evolving city. Not surprisingly the capital has become a Mecca for visitors and a great place to live. There really is something appealing to everyone and whatever your interests may be the city has it covered. With countless museums, galleries and entertainment options throughout the city there could never be a better time to come and find out just how much it has to offer.

Bath

Undeniably beautiful, Bath is an architectural gem with over 5000 listed buildings. The city's fortune was built on the presence of the only hot springs in England. Aristocrats flocked here to gossip and play in Georgian times, building the glorious honey-colored terraces that characterize the city today. Bath Abbey was built between 1499 and 1616, making it the last great medieval church raised in England. The nave's wonderful fan vaulting was erected in the 19th century. The most striking feature of the abbey's exterior is the west façade, where angels climb up and down stone ladders, commemorating a dream of the founder, Bishop Oliver King. The abbey boasts of the second largest collection of wall monuments after Westminster Abbey. Among those buried here are Sir Isaac Pitman, who devised the Pitman method of shorthand, and Beau Nash. The choir stalls, carved with mythical beasts are also worth seeing.

Manchester

Manchester is evolving. Gone are the Dickensian days of grinding poverty. Gone too are the gloom'n'doom of the 1980s indie punk scene and its Joy Division pessimism: over the last 15 years the city has developed a champagne-for-breakfast insouciance and an almost giddy attitude toward fun. The town that started the industrial revolution is stepping out of the steam-and-sweat age and into a swanky, partying juvenilia. But 'Manchester' is more than just froth-at-the-mouth football and high-class party jinks - there are also museums, fine dining and excellent shopping outlets. Manchester was the world's first industrial center, and the grim legacy of those days is still very much part of the city's look. For history and machinery nuts, the various industrial museums will be a draw. Culture lovers can flock to one of the finest art collections in the country.

Liverpool

Sightseeing in Liverpool includes Liverpool Cathedral, the Metropolitan Cathedral, and Speke Hall. Everything about the austere building of Liverpool Cathedral is larger than life, including its central bell (the third-largest in the world) and the views of Liverpool gained from the top of the 101meter tower.

Oxford

Oxford, the City of Dreaming Spires, is famous the world over for its University and place in history. For over 800 years, it has been a home to royalty and scholars, and since the 9th century an established town, although people are known to have lived in the area for thousands of years. Nowadays, the city is a bustling cosmopolitan town. With its ancient University, it’s the home also to a growing hi-tech community. Many businesses are located in and around the town, whether on one of the science and business parks or within one of a number of residential areas.

Stonehenge

The megalithic ruin known as Stonehenge stands on the open down land of Salisbury plain two miles (three kilometers) west of the town of Amesbury, Wiltshire, in Southern England. It is not a single structure but consists of a series of earth, timber, and stone structures that were revised and re-modelled over a period of more than 1400 years. In the 1940s and 1950s, Richard Atkinson proposed that construction occurred in three phases, which he labelled Stonehenge I, II, III a, III b, and III c.

Cambridge

County of Cambridgeshire, it lies approximately 50 miles (80 km) north-northeast of London and is surrounded by a number of smaller towns and villages. It is also at the heart of the high-technology centre known as Silicon Fen and is one of the major constituent parts of the Oxford-Cambridge Arc. Cambridge is best known for the University of Cambridge, which includes the renowned Cavendish Laboratory, the King's College Chapel, and the Cambridge University Library. The Cambridge skyline is dominated by the last two, along with the chimney of Addenbrooke's Hospital in the far south of the city and St. John's College Chapel tower in the north.

Weather

London is a year-round tourist center, with few of its attractions closing or significantly reducing their opening hours in winter. Your best chance of good weather is, of course, at the height of summer in July and August, but there's certainly no guarantee of sun even in those months - plus it's when you can expect the biggest crowds and highest prices. London's underground rail system is the world's oldest, most extensive, and most travelled. It is also the most unreliable, with breakdowns, on average, every sixteen minutes.

London has a temperate climate moderated by prevailing southwest winds over the North Atlantic current; more than one-half of the days are overcast. London is one of the favorite urban haunts of visitors to Europe because of landmark sights like Big Ben, St Paul's Cathedral and the historically rich Westminster Abbey. The city also boasts of some of the world's greatest museums and art galleries, and more parkland than most other capitals.
