United Kingdom Travel Guide: 104,063 reviews and 202,864 photos

The UK is my adopted country! I have been leaving here for 4 years, studying for a PhD at Essex University and teaching Economics to first and second-year undergraduates!

The UK is a country of ethnic diversity and quite tolerant regarding race, nationality and tourists from abroad. A large ethnic minority made of people of Pakistani and Indian descent has provided the foundations for this balance.

It is a top country for academic studies and arts in general. High points include the Royal Albert Hall Proms and many other activities that take place in the summer.

The weather in the UK is neither hot nor too cold. But it is a very wet island, and from October to April the average day-time temperature is around 8.C. From April-June and September it oscillates at around 14C. In the peak of summer, the average is around 18C.
