United Kingdom - stop 11

United Kingdom- Stop 11





Star rating - 2.5

Well seeing as we are in the Europe we decided to head to the UK and decide from here what to do.



The country includes the island of Great Britain, the north-eastern part of the island of Ireland, and many smaller islands. Northern Ireland is the only part of the UK that shares a Land border with another sovereign state—the Republic of Ireland. Apart from this land border the UK is surrounded by the Atlantic Ocean, the North sea, the English Channel and the Irish Sea.

The United Kingdom is a unitary state governed under a constitutional monarchy and a parliamentary system, with its seat of government in the capital city of London. It is a country in its own right and consists of four administrative divisions (or countries ): England, Scotland, Wales and Northern Ireland. The latter three of these are developed administrations, each with varying powers,based in their capital cities of Edinburgh, Cardiff and Belfast  respectively.

Associated with the UK, but not constitutionally part of it, are the three Crown dependencies : Guernsey, Jersey and the Isle of Man.
The United Kingdom has fourteen British Overseas Territories. These are remnants of the British Empire which, at its height in 1922, encompassed almost a quarter of the world's land surface and was the largest empire in history. British influence can still be observed in the language, culture and legal systems of many of its former territories.


The LGBT scene is pretty well developed, with numerous web sites and there appears to be many clubs/pubs dotted around the country in various cities.


We are going to stay with one of Gemstones cousins in London and take it from there.
