ENGLAND TOURS & TRIPS

England uses the British Pound (£).

Spring (April- June) and Autumn (September–October) bring mild weather and fewer tourists. But summer (July–August) is perfect for festivals and longer, drier days (also the busiest time for tourists!)

England’s infamous weather is unpredictable. Expect mild summers (15–25°C) and cool winters (0–10°C), with occasional rain throughout the year – so definitely pack layers and a waterproof jacket.

Your visa requirements can change according to your nationality. Check out our handy visa guide for the latest info.

ATMs are widely available in cities, towns, and even some rural areas. Most accept international cards, although some may charge fees for withdrawals. Contactless payments are also very common.

A week is perfect for exploring major sights like London, Bath, and Oxford. If you want to see more of the countryside or smaller towns, aim for 10–14 days to fully experience England’s charm.

Tipping is appreciated but it isn’t required. In restaurants, a 10–12% tip is typical if service isn’t included. No need to tip in pubs but rounding up in taxis or for great service is always nice.

Yep, tap water in England is safe to drink and is of excellent quality. So drink away!

England has excellent internet access. Free WiFi is available in most hotels, cafes, and public spaces, and mobile data coverage is strong in both cities and rural areas.

You’ll need a Type G plug (3 rectangular prongs) for your devices. England uses a 230V supply and 50Hz frequency, so check if your devices need a converter.

Yup! England is very LGBTQIA+ friendly, with legal protections, Pride events, and a vibrant queer scene - especially in cities like London, Brighton, and Manchester.
