in the British Isles which is also famous for its natural hot springs and stone
Georgian architecture. London
has something for everyone, from a rich history stretching back to Roman times
and grand architecture to world-class dining, entertainment, and grand old
parks. London seamlessly combines 21st-century modernity with Old World charm
and beauty.

and Bristol.
Oxford
Oxford is known a distinguished city in south central England,
well
known throughout the world for its place in history and its legendary

Stratford-upon-Avon
Stratford-upon-Avon, commonly known as just Stratford,
is an 800-year-old market town with exceptionally preserved historical sites
that William Shakespeare himself would be familiar with as well as a thriving
community riddled with various leisure activities and attractions. The best way

history of Bristol, brought to life on the docks with Brunel's SS Great Britain
and the Matthew. Harbourside and Millennium Square show the city's modern side.
