Information about ENGLAND Until recently England was generally thought of as a gentle, fabled land freeze-framed sometime in the 1930s, home of the post office, country pub and vicarage. It's now better known for vibrant cities with great nightlife and attractions, contrasted with green and pleasant countryside. England is loaded with cherished icons of a past era, from Stonehenge to Canterbury Cathedral, and is a leading light in contemporary architecture, with many examples including the works of Sir Norman Foster and Richard Rodgers. Sporting occasions can seem to dominate the calendar, with tennis, football, rugby and horse racing all drawing huge national attention. For the less sporty types, there’s always music and culture at the Notting Hill and Glastonbury festivals, pomp and ceremony at The Trooping of the Colour, and the annual Chelsea Flower Show. Much of England is flat, but up towards the North-Western corner The Pennines rise and stretch up to the border with Scotland. Resembling a range of hills in Northern Italy, the Romans gave them this name, and it was they who built Hadrians Wall from coast to coast at the border, to keep out the rampaging Scots. While English food itself may not be renown, you will be surprised at the variety of restaurants serving dishes from around the world, an influence of the immigrants from Britains former colonies. In fact, an Indian curry is now more popular than fish and chips! While post colonial Britain may not have the power of old, it still is one of the major financial centres of the world, and its economy remains a powerhouse in the global marketplace.
