London is not England, in fact its a totally different culture and pace of life to much of the rest of the country. London is very multi-cultural, busy, crowded where people always seem to be in a rush with no time to stop and linger.
Outside London it is different with a more traditional and relaxed, friendly ambiance. Day tours from London offer glimpses of some of the finest sights, these short break tours allow you to properly explore a region of England.
