London Hotels

“God Save The Queen!” The British does have a way with finesse and culture that I, myself, got hooked with their lifestyle to the point that I have decided to leave my own country and settle here for good. Life has been bloody good, as the Brits would say! To be expat Britain is one of the best choice and my best choice indeed. Certainly, before you book your flight, you need the following important things with you:
• tickets and visas/passports/permits
• guides and maps
• accommodations

Now, whether you just decide to stay for a brief tour or plan to live for a longer period of time and be an expatriate like me, then you have to know your way around the United Kingdom. More so, you need to know what the UK is all about if you would like to be expat United Kingdom will provide you with the necessary guidance.

The United Kingdom is officially known as the United Kingdom of Great Britain and Northern Ireland. The UK is an island nation composed of 4 countries: England, Northern Ireland, Scotland and Wales. It is a sovereign unitary stage with a constitutional monarchy. The seat of government is in London, the capital, that follows a parliamentary government, however, it has other devolved national administrations in the other capitals (Edinburgh in Scotland, Belfast in Northern Ireland and Cardiff in Wales). The UK’s progressive and developed economy is the sixth largest in the world by nominal GDP. In the 19th and 20th century, the UK is the world’s leading industrialized nation. However, after the two world wars and the loss of the other colonies ending the UK’s massive empire have diminished the nation’s lead. Nevertheless, the UK still holds a major influence in terms of military power, as well as scientific, cultural, economic and political agendas.

The British culture can be observed in its former colonies including the United States, Canada, Australia and India. Culturally, the UK is foremost known with its literature. William Shakespeare, an English playwright and poet, has been noted as the world’s best dramatist of all time. In fact, Edinburgh, the capital of Scotland, is regarded as UNESCO’s first worldwide City of Literature as Scotland has produced so many literary artists throughout history and at present.

If you are a great fan of the Beatles, then you are a great fan of Brit music. Other famous British musical stars include the Queen, Pink Floyd, Elton John, Led Zeppelin, and Cliff Richard. The UK’s BBC Symphony Orchestra and the London Symphony Chorus are world-renowned orchestras. Perhaps having to have a really great performance in the UK will surely boosts one’s musical career. In fact, the United Nations heralded the city of Glasgow in 2008 as UNESCO’s City of Music for its contribution to the music industry in the world. This award has only been given to 3 cities in the world.

In terms of science and philosophy, the UK has offered the world so much. If you have studied well, then you must’ve studied about the different laws of physics. Most scientists have their origins in the United Kingdom. Among these was the famous Sir Isaac Newton for his Newtonian laws of motion as well as gravity.

Britain is truly blessed and if you really want to learn more about this country, I suggest you come and see her in person. She’s very willing to accommodate you and show you around. Cheers!
