Londýn - město nám tak vzdálené...možná snad teď nemyslím ani geograficky, ale zejména svoji kulturou, chováním, jednáním, ale také mnohokulturností, velikostí, oblíbeností a nebo také cenama za ubytování, jídlo, zábavu, kulturu... :-)LetištěLetišť má Londýn hned několik, nejznámější pro nízkonákladové cestovatele jsou vzdálenější od centra Stanstead, Luton, Gatwick a více známé je mezinárodní letiště Heathrow, odkud se dostanete do jakéhokoliv koutu světa. Z okolních letišť jezdí vždy několik soukromých dopravdů, nejlepší, nejrychlejší, nejlevnější a nejpohodlnější je asi cesta se společností Easybus, kde jezdí autobusy každou hodinu a je tam dá se říci vždy místo. Nejlevnější je se sem dostat z Polska (Katowice, Wroclav, Poznaň, Krakow) a nebo v Bratislavy. Já letěl z Brna, protože jsem...
whether you like it or not, most immigration officials in the UK USA Australia think that people from Asia are coming in to stay on illegally and work. It is not racial since if your friend has a US passport, they woud be very pleasant to her.For a Cuban to get a visa to the UK even if it is a transit visa: you have to provide your job description, the wage slip, the bank account and the amount in it. Let her apply and try to convince them that she has enough money to come and visit the UK. In that case, if she gets the visa, that is fine. By the way, you can get visas to rich countries on your own merit, takes a little effort.
I visited England in September 2010. I went with my Granny to London and stayed in a hotel some of the time and at my Uncle Mickey's the rest of the time. I met lots of funny people in Madame Tussauds and I saw Dinosaurs and the Queen's house and the London Eye. My best memory of the trip was seeing my new cousin Niamh and seeing the whole of London.
A friend of mine in Belgium had told me that while in London, I should go to Ye Olde Cheshire Cheese. I did, and especially loved the sign outside. It's off Fleet Street I think. That is, if it still exists. But it made it under 15 sovereigns so I'm confident that the old tradition lives on.One thing that surprised me on my first visit to London was the fact that the pubs were not that obvious. Many places near my hotel looked like private houses and I walked right pass them, looking for a pub. Suddenly, round 7 at night, I heard singing coming from illuminated houses. I'd follow the sound, look through the window pane and well, it was clear this crowd was not just having their family dinner!But I mean, it's not like in Paris, where the cafes spread out into the streets. More discreet (from the outside :-) London: Old bookshops, the Victoria and Albert Museum for a Wedgwood exhibition...
England is divided into nine regions for the purposes of regional government. These are:LondonSouth EastSouth WestEast of EnglandEast MidlandsWest MidlandsYorkshire & HumbersideNorth EastNorth WestI will write about each of these in more depth, including the many and varied attractions that might appeal to visitors, in separate tips in the Things to Do section .Within each region are a number of local authorities, responsible for many of the local services and facilities. These are arranged in tiers, with the first tier having the most significant and wide-ranging responsibilities including schools, social care, adult learning, libraries, public housing and more. These authorities can be counties (examples include Cornwall, Kent and Northumberland), Metropolitan Districts (e.g. Newcastle and Manchester), Urban Districts (South Tyneside, Luton) and London Boroughs (Kensington and Chelsea,...
The first thing to remember when trying to understand our somewhat complex system of government is that England is not the United Kingdom and vice versa – it is part of the UK but only a part. The famous British Parliament, based in London, is the centre of government for the UK, which also includes Scotland, Wales and Northern Ireland, but each of these also has its own government or Assembly as it is known. Some things come under the jurisdiction of Parliament for all four of these so-called Home Nations, while for others Parliament only has responsibility for England and the national Assemblies have the responsibility in the other countries. Among the former are defence and the economy; among the latter health, libraries and most aspects of transport. This system not only causes confusion; there is also the anomaly that is referred to as the “West Lothian Question” (because it was...
There are eight official or “Bank” holidays taken in England. These are:New Year’s Day – 1st JanuaryGood Friday – moveable feastEaster Monday – moveable feastMay Day Bank Holiday – first Monday in MaySpring Bank Holiday – last Monday in MayAugust Bank Holiday – last Monday in AugustChristmas Day – 25th DecemberBoxing Day – 26th December{dates for these in 2009, as well as other notable dates in our calendar, can be found on this useful website]These get their name because the banks are always closed on these days. Traditionally shops and other businesses would also close but these days many shops open on most of them, with Christmas Day and Good Friday being the exceptions to this – and most shops also close on Easter Sunday even if they normally open on a Sunday as many now do. Most other businesses, including tour companies and others of use to tourists, will be closed however, so you...
A recent project (starting in 2005) set out to establish what were the “Icons of England”. What objects, places, symbols etc best represent our varied culture? I love this project because its definition of the word icon is so loose, and because anyone was able to have a say in the selection of icons. Those chosen are as diverse and wide-ranging as you might expect from such a cultural melting pot of a country. Among my favourites are:The Angel of the NorthBig BenJerusalemThe Lindisfarne GospelsQueuingRoast beef and Yorkshire PuddingCheddar cheeseThe Routemaster busThe tube mapThe FA CupHedgesCricketThe pintThe parish churchThe weatherSee the full list on the ICONS website, and if you’ve visited England maybe consider nominating something yourself. What is the definitive object that shouts England to you?
You could aim form Edale on your arival date.Then travel into manchester the folowing morning. Theres a good rail service.You might find much cheaper tickets on eastmidland trains to sheffield , than the london-manchester routeEdale is in the Peak National park, 20 miles from manchester.From the station you could be on top of Kinder Scout within the hour, if you can pass the pubs.There are some rail rover tickets, maybe do a circuit north from manchester, and then pick up the scenic Settle and Carlise route.And I'll also say a big YES to York. Depend how much you want to see
