Modern England is a mix of history alongside diversity and innovation. Decolonization and immigration caused England to become a veritable melting pot of ethnicities and nationalities, with London in particular boasting more languages spoken than any other place in Europe. Modern England is connected to the rest of the world now more than ever, and that can be seen in postwar architecture and the monuments to the moments that shaped what the United Kingdom is today. On our accompanied map you will find many interesting and unique tourist spots from postwar English history (1945-present).
North West England is the second-largest urban area in England, which includes Manchester, the UK`s third-largest city; Liverpool, on the River Mersey, known for its seafaring traditions and The Beatles; Blackpool, one of the most popular seaside resorts in England; and Chester, perhaps the best-preserved walled city in Britain.
Beautiful North East England consists of such cities such as Durham, which boasts a 1,000-year-old old town; Newcastle-upon-Tyne, developed around an old Roman settlement and once one of the most important shipbuilding centers in the world; and Sunderland, which grew around the 7th-century Monkwearmouth-Jarrow Abbey.

The English Midlands are often overlooked but are alluring to travelers. The region is full of history; many cities were founded over two millennia ago, and are some of the oldest cities in England.

The history of East Anglia (Norfolk, Suffolk, and Cambridgeshire) is vivid and rich; the oldest structures still standing in England, dating from the Bronze Age, are located in East Anglia. A number of large, ornate former monasteries-turned-cathedrals dot Cambridgeshire, from Peterborough to Fenland and the Isle of Ely.
South East England is a large and geographically diverse region, much of which sits in the Thames River Valley, and here you can experience such sights as the New Forest, the Chiltern Hills, and the White Cliffs of Dover, in addition to Blenheim Palace, Windsor Castle, Canterbury Cathedral, and the list goes on.
South West England is filled with exciting sights such as Stonehenge, the world-famous prehistoric stone circle; the Roman-era hot springs of Bath; the coasts of Dorset and east Devon; and the tin mines that dot the coasts of Devon and Cornwall. All of these popular attractions are UNESCO World Heritage Sites.

Let us guide you through England as viewed through a pop culture lens.
The British royal family is revered and admired throughout the world, and the stately homes and other sites associated with the royals attract millions of tourists to England each year. The majority of sites are located in London but others are further afield, such as beautiful Sandringham House.
