Things to do during your hotel stay in the UK

The United Kingdom attracts around thirty million visitors to its cities each year. Most tourists visit to see its castles, towers, palaces, museums, galleries, theatres and, of course, all the associated ceremonies and splendid displays. Its shopping streets of Oxford Street in London, Buchanan Street in Glasgow, Queen Street in Cardiff and Donegal Place in Belfast are typically thronged with eager bargain hunters!

England

England, and its association with royalty and all the extravagant trappings that accompany a monarchy, is one of the most colourful countries in Europe, from the natural beauty of The Lake District in the North West of the country to the hustle and bustle of ‘The Changing of the Guard Ceremony outside Buckingham Palace in London.

Scotland

Up north lies Scotland, with its grand castles, snowy mountain peaks and famous folklore, including that of the infamous rascal, The Lough Ness Monster. Home of the Kilt, Sporran, Highland Games and Haggis, Scotland is a genuinely mythical-like place that will draw you in and rub off on you so much that you may end up with a developing soft Scottish accent before you leave!

Wales

Wales, located to the west of England, has a beautiful Gaelic accent and some of the longest place names in the world. Over half a million of the country’s three million inhabitants speak the Welsh language fluently. The country is very mountainous and has an abundance of natural treasures, including the wonderfully scenic Snowdonia region, with its imposing one thousand metre-high Snowden Mountain, one of fourteen mountains within the country and its vast eighth hundred square miles national park.

Northern Ireland

Across the Irish Sea lies Northern Ireland, home to wondrous attractions, including The Giant’s Causeway in Antrim, its forty thousand basalt columns, and The Titanic Experience in Belfast. This city built the iconic ship and Bushmills Whiskey, one of the smoothest whiskies on the planet. Northern Ireland is renowned for the natural beauty of its landscape and has been used to film many of the stunning scenes from the popular Game of Thrones TV series!

Sport enthusiasts

If sport is your passion, visiting the United Kingdom will thrill every energetic bone in your body. From fantastic golf courses like St. Andrews on the east coast of Scotland to passionate ruby stadiums like The Millennium Stadium in Cardiff, Wales, the sports enthusiast will be spoilt for choice. And then there’s soccer!

Gastronomic London

With celebrity chef restaurants, including those run by Jamie Oliver, Gorgon Ramsey, Michael Roux, Heston Blumenthal, Raymond Blanc, and Rick Stein, the gourmet food lover will be more than satisfied. With all this and so much more to indulge the senses in the United Kingdom, why not become visitor number thirty million and one? The only thing you might regret about visiting the United Kingdom is having to leave!

London theatres & shows

London is the European capital of theatre, with memorable shows running in its West End, like The Phantom of The Opera, Les Miserables, War Horse, The Lion King, We Will Rock You, Mama Mia, Wicked, Billy Elliot and Charlie and the Chocolate Factory, in fabulous, atmospheric theatres including The Apollo Victoria Theatre, Lyceum Theatre, Her Majesty’s Theatre, Novello Theatre and Queens Theatre. And if you want to take in a good old pop, rock, classical or opera concert, London has a venue to suit all tastes, including The O2, Royal Albert Hall and Hammersmith Apollo.

Shopping in London

Shopping opportunities in the city are overwhelming, from the ever-popular Harrods and Fortnum and Mason stores to the eclectic Covent Garden, Camden and Borough markets. A well-earned post-shopping rest can be had in the beautiful city centre parks of Hyde Park, with its famous Speakers Corner to air your views (no matter how controversial!), and Regents Park, which has an open-air theatre and zoo onsite.

London restaurants

Wining and dining in London is an absolute pleasure, with over fifty Michelin-star-rated restaurants to choose from, including restaurants run by Heston Blumenthal and Gordon Ramsey. Alternatively, you can spoil the taste buds on the obligatory fish-n-chip takeaway and Indian curry houses. No culinary experience would be complete without a trip to London’s Chinatown for some sizzling Szechuan, crispy roast duck or stir fry Chinese dishes. If you dare, another alternative is to visit the somewhat chaotic Faulty Tower Dining Experience at Charing Cross Hotel!

London nightlife

There is no better spot to experience the best of London nightlife than a visit to Soho. Pulsating nightclubs, pubs, music venues, stand-up comedy/cabaret venues, and trendy restaurants will entertain the visitor in the morning. Those looking for some real full-blooded entertainment should visit the Notting Hill Carnival in August for lots of multicultural dancing, music, and so much more.
