Major Cities

The United Kingdom of Great Britain and Northern Ireland comprises four countries, England, Scotland, Wales and Northern Ireland.

Major cities in England include York, Oxford, Bath, Liverpool, Birmingham, Manchester, Leeds, and the capital, London.

Scotland's capital Edinburgh is just a short drive from it's second city of Glasgow, Aberdeen and Dundee lie further North.

The major cities of Wales lie in the south, with Cardiff and Swansea being the largest - St Davids in Pembrokeshire claims to be the smallest city in the UK.

Visitors to Northern Ireland will no doubt want to visit Belfast, rich in maritime history and home to the Titanic Museum.

Other than Dublin, a city in the Republic of Ireland feels more like a large town. Galway, Cork, Limerick and Waterford are likely destinations on your visit to the Emerald Isle.

Climate

The UK has a fairly temperate climate. It rarely features the extremes of heat or cold, drought or wind that are common in other climates. The weather conditions can be changeable throughout the year.

The climate varies from region to region. London and the south-east usually has a warm and dry climate in the summer and a cold and dry climate in the winter, whereas mountainous Cumbria, in the north-west of England, has generally cooler temperatures and more rainfall throughout the year. Northerly parts of Scotland feature long daylight hours throughout the summer.

Generally speaking, the weather is wetter in the west and drier in the east.

Languages

English is the only official language in the UK. Some Gaelic speakers may be found in parts of rural Scotland and Welsh is making a comeback in some parts of Wales. Irish and English are spoken in Ireland.

Currency and Money

The currency in the UK is Pounds Stirling. Cash machines/ATM’s can be found on most high streets and in many supermarkets and filling stations, most major cities will have places where you can exchange your currency into Stirling.

The Republic of Ireland is part of Europe and uses the Euro. Cash machines/ATM’s can be found throughout the country, high streets, post offices and even some pubs will have a cash machine.

Tipping

Tipping is generally not expected as all workers in the UK are paid a minimum wage. In a restaurant, a service charge may be added to the final bill. While this is not usually obligatory, it's certainly appreciated, especially where the service has been good. Hotel porters can be a good source of local knowledge, a couple of pounds tip on arrival may help establish a rapport with your friend at the door.

Passports

Your passport should be valid for the proposed duration of your stay. An additional period of six months validity beyond this is required.

Visas

You’ll need to get a Visa to enter or transit the UK as a visitor.

Public Holidays

If a bank holiday is on a weekend, a ‘substitute’ weekday becomes a bank holiday, normally the following Monday. Additional Bank Holidays may be given for events such as the Queen's Platinum Jubilee on 3rd June 2022
