MOVING TO THE UK

Overview

Whilst the United Kingdom may be small, it’s certainly not lacking in traditions, cultures and even languages! Made up of the three countries of Great Britain – England, Scotland & Wales – and Northern Ireland, it boasts an incredible variety of people, customs and landscapes..
Whether you’re looking for quaint countryside, bustling cities or peaceful coastal life, moving to the United Kingdom will not only offer you the perfect spot, you can often find all of these and more combined, or at least within easily reachable distance.
The UK has a rich and long-standing history, and is one of very few countries left to still have an active royal family. These traditions are combined with a contemporary and forward-thinking ethos and its citizens are justly proud of their many achievements within arts, sciences and politics.


GOOD TO KNOW

There’s quite a stigma surrounding British food but you’ll be pleasantly surprised when you arrive! Not only are some of the classics – like fish & chips, sausage and mash, or homemade fruit crumbles – seriously delicious, the UK has also embraced cuisine from all over the world so there’s plenty to choose from.
The weather sometimes gets bad press as well, but the distinction of the seasons is rather glorious. You’ll enjoy sunny summer days, crisp autumnal walks, snug winters in front of the fire and springs filled with blossom.
