Things to Know about the UK 1 From Buckingham Palace to Oxford, the UK is loaded with wonderful iconsof past eras. But it has also modernized with confidence. Its now better known for vibrantcities with great nightlife and attraction. Fashions, fine dining, clubbing, shopping-the UK is among the worlds best.
2 Most people have strong preconceptions about the British. But if youre one of these people, youd be wise to abandon those ideas. Visit a nightclub in one of the big cities, a football match, or a good local pub and you might more readily describe the English people as humorous and hospitable. Its certainly true that no other country in the world has more bird-watchers, sports supporters, pet owners and gardeners than the UK.
3 Getting around England is pretty easy. Budgetairlines like Easyjet and Rynnair fly domestically. Trains can deliver you very efficiently from one major city to another .Long distance express buses are called coaches. Where coaches and buses run on the same route, coaches are more expensive than buses. Londons famous black cabs are excellent but expensive. Minicabs are cheaper competitors, with freelancedrivers. But usually you need to give a call first. Londons underground is called the Tube. Its very convenient and can get you to almost any part of the city.
4 The UK is not famous for its food. But you still need to know some of the traditional English foods. The most famous must be fish and chips. The fish and chips are deep fried in flour. English breakfast is something you need to try. It is fried bacon, sausages, fried eggs, black pudding, fried tomatoes, fried bread and baked beans, with toast and a pot of tea. Other things like shepherds pie and Yorkshire pudding are also well-known as a part of English food culture.
5 Pubbing and clubbing are the main forms of English nightlife, especially for the young. Pubbing means going to a pub with friends, having drinks, and chatting. Clubbing is different from pubbing and includes going to a pub, or a place of music, or a bar, or any other places to gather with friends. Clubbing can be found everywhere. Usually there is some kind of dress code for clubbing, such as no jeans, no sportswear, or smart clubwear, while pubbing is much more casual.
