Language
English is the official language. The multiplicity of local dialects throughout the country, overlaid with class, and town and country accents makes English a language of astonishing diversity. In the larger cities, particularly London, there are many communities who do not speak English as a first language.

Places To Go
England’s rich history and scenic diversity make it one of the world’s most popular tourist destinations. Although only united as a single nation little over 1000 years ago, its origins go back to the dawn of civilisation, and the variety of interest it offers reflects this.

From prehistoric Stonehenge to 21st-century attractions like London’s Millennium Eye, man has contributed much to the appeal of the UK’s largest constituent country.

England’s heritage, and therefore her appeal as a destination, is many-faceted and deeply rooted, ranging from the literary genius of Shakespeare to "everyday" pageantry in the changing of the guard at Buckingham Palace.
