Travel to England

What do I need to know about English culture? Language: There obviously is no language barrier when you travel to England, though you may find it helpful to review some fun British slang before you go. Etiquette: England and the United States are pretty similar in terms of etiquette and customs, though there are a few differences. Brits are known for their politeness — please, thank you, and sorry are staples of the language. When standing on an escalator, be sure to stand on the right and let people pass you on the left, and never cut a queue. Holidays: If your trip happens to fall during a holiday, this can be an excellent way to interact with locals during your free time, though it may affect business hours for shops and sites. Check out a calendar of English holidays to see if any of them overlap with your trip dates.
