Good to know before you go

Check out the time zone difference between your own country and the UK so you can readjust and make the most of your visit. As the UK's capital city, London is also around 10 percent more expensive compared to other cities like Manchester, Birmingham, Cardiff, Edinburgh and Glasgow.  Do bear this in mind when changing your currency into English pounds for accommodation, dining, having a drink in a London pub, seeing a West End Show or visiting some of the many attractions.
