Information about the United Kingdom

England will always be one of the most important nations in the history of the humanity. Few countries can rely on a economical, artistic, academic, military and sports power. There are those who can insure you that the best place on the planet to learn real English, is England. It is allowed for a student to work 20 hours per week. Although these conditions also apply in other countries such as Australia, New Zealand, and France.

Thousands of tourists in the entire world invade England every day to visit its famous historical buildings, big gardens, galleries and castles. Either way, in only 3 hours of distance in the subterranean Eurostar train we can be in Paris, and this way connected to the rest of Europe. Many of the best universities of the world are in England. And the student can alternate their studies with practically any activity that excites them.

LONDON

London is, with out a thought, the biggest city of Europe. Also its museums and galleries are considered the best of the world, and everywhere you turn there are monuments of the glorious past of the capital. Roman ruins, buildings from that epic of the British Empire and big baroque churches, that give historical weight to the city.

But more than anything, this city is attractive for the ambience that is breathed in. Galleries with the last tendencies and shops of fashion that look like galleries of art. A few excessive prices and impressive restaurants ... there´s so much to choose from.
