ENGLAND

Welcome to my home turf. I may be biased, but London is one of the greatest cities on earth, with a history stretching back millennia and crammed with cultural attractions and historic landmarks.

But England is so much more than its capital. The Lake District, for example, holds a special place in my heart and is one of the most beautiful corners of Europe.

If you like your craft beer, you’ve come to the right country, and there’s even a thriving wine industry.
