Once the beating heart of the greatest empire the world has ever known, the UK is still, in many ways, the centre of it all. It remains one of the world’s major players in terms of art and culture, finance and business, innovation, creativity and travel bliss. There are countless wonders to discover in the evocative English countryside, the hidden history of Wales’ many castles, Scotland’s rich cultural heritage, and the charm and troubled past of Northern Ireland. And not to forget the metropolis itself, London, a multi-layered and diverse patchwork of cultures, languages and people, and one of the most exciting and influential cities in the world.
I 60’erne var det ”Swinging London”. Tredive år senere var det ”Cool Britannia”. Og efterfølgende… er London stadig det rigtige valg! Den sprudlende kultur fortsætter hele tiden med at vokse og udvikle sig, og du kan mærke pulsen straks du lander. Og der kommer til at ske endnu mere. Takket være, at London blev valgt som værtsby for OL i 2012, vil der ske mange forandringer. Byen kommer til at genopstå i en takt, som ikke er set siden dronning Victorias dage.
