Queen And Country

If you are itching to do something different this summer vacation, why not consider a 'once in a lifetime' holiday to England?

Historical sites are in abundance, with several of the Queen's residences in easy reach of central London. Most have sections open to the public and offer a unique insight into the history of her ancestors.

Art galleries, theaters offering the latest and best stage shows, nightclubs, casinos, London has everything including the 'London Eye' � a huge wheel housing bullet shaped carriages for twenty or so men and women to view the London skyline both by day and night. These are even rented out for cocktail parties and weddings!

London also boasts one of the best local transport systems in the world and it is very easy to 'pop-up' all over London in a relatively short time by using the underground railway. It is a great way to avoid the traffic jams also!

But England is more than just London. Take a trip out to Oxford or Cambridge, the towns housing perhaps some of the most famous colleges in the world. It is like stepping back in time with the ancient buildings still in use after hundreds of years.

Many Britons now offer a 'home-stay' type of holiday where you are able to stay with a family or perhaps the holiday swaps where you go to a families home whilst they come to yours.
This sounds a bit dangerous but there are agencies set up to monitor this and it is becoming increasingly popular.
