United Kingdom
Located just north of France in western Europe, the UK is an island nation built up of four constituent countries: England, Scotland, Wales, and Northern Ireland.
From dramatic coastlines along the Atlantic Ocean and the North Sea to beautiful rolling hills and busy, modern cities, the UK is one of the most culturally influential countries in the world.
You probably already know some of its music, football clubs, and maybe a monarch or two, but there is so much more to see in the historic British Isles. Come and find out for yourself why its reputation for bad cuisine is so undeserved, as you explore the incredible collision of tradition and modernity that makes this an endlessly fascinating, innovative, and …delicious (!) place to explore.
Home to lush countryside, royal palaces, and incredible UNESCO World Heritage Sites like Stonehenge, Westminster Abbey, and the Giant’s Causeway, the United Kingdom has something for everyone.
It is safe, welcoming, and a hugely popular destination, boasting world-class museums, incredible history, and iconic landmarks.

From Stonehenge to Snowdonia, passing more than a few famous football clubs on the way, you’ll find something to make any visit memorable.
Brighton
The seaside city of Brighton sits on the south coast of England, 50 miles south of London. Famous for its progressive culture, busy beaches, and food-stealing seagulls, Brighton is one of the trendiest and most exciting cities in the UK.
Around 300,000 people live here, but it is growing fast. Explore the Victorian-era seafront and pier, marvel at the Royal Pavilion, and wander The Lanes: vibrant and independent shopping streets stretching from the station to the seafront.
London
First founded as “Londinium” 2,000 years ago, London is the capital city of the UK and one of the world’s most influential places. Sat along the banks of the River Thames in the south of England, more than nine million people call it home.
London is a fascinating melting pot of cultures, with a strong history of multiculturalism and innovation. As western Europe’s biggest city, and one of the most visited cities on earth, there’s so much to discover, made easy by the world’s oldest underground rail system.
