TRAVEL GUIDE
England by Joanna Neve
BEST TIME TO VISIT Talking about the weather (or how bad it is) is a very British custom. All year round prepare for rain and make sure to carry an umbrella – it rains a massive 156 days a year! In winter months (November-January), it can get very cold ranging from 0-9°C particularly in mountainous and coastal areas, so pack lots of layers and be prepared for the small chance of snow. In summer months (June-August), temperatures are higher and tend to range between 1525°C, with cooler evenings. TRANSPORTATION • Public transport in the UK is very good. Rail networks and bus services run efficiently across the whole country, with buses linking most rural areas. Tickets can be easily booked via the National Rail website. • The capital London has world-famous tube networks. Alternatively take a London black- cab (taxi), bus or uber. • Rural islands are easily accessible by ferry networks dependent on the weather.
