Best Time to Visit
Well known for its cold and unreliable weather, England is always changing its weather. Autumn and Spring are wonderful seasons to visit the changing nature in parks and woodland. Summer months are meant to be the warmest however sometimes has more rain, and Winter is chilly.
How to get there?
The UK is easily accessible from all over the world. Heathrow and Gatwick are London's main airports with regular flights coming in and out internationally. Other main airports include Manchester, Liverpool, Edinburgh, Stansted, Luton, Bristol and Glasgow.
If flying isn't your thing, then perhaps investigate taking the train. From Paris, Amsterdam, Lyon and Brussels the Eurostar is the best option. It is a quick and easy method of travelling to the UK as you avoid the check-in times at the airport.
Getting Around
In London, the best way to get around is either by bus or underground, also called the tube, walking can also be an option if you enjoy seeing the city by foot. To get to other major cities the train system is efficient and if booked in advance, relatively inexpensive. Simply download the Trainline App or Virgin Trains and plan your journey there.
The other option of course is to hire a car. This option can be cost-effective and fun if you want to have a road trip around the UK. It makes visiting the countryside or seaside much more accessible and will allow you to book accommodation away from the main roads.
Cities Galore

Book a city apartment to stay in whilst exploring the many wonders of the city such as London's iconic national timepiece – Big Ben – as well as the riverside observation wheel – The London Eye.
If you are travelling with your family book a family holiday rental in the city, including accommodation in Bath which has wonderful classical architecture, as well as the only natural hot baths in England. Or choose accommodation in the university cities of Oxford, or a holiday rental in Cambridge, and go punting along the river adjacent to the stunning campuses.
