United Kingdom Travel Guide

Castles and cosmopolitanism—nowhere else combines the two quite like the United Kingdom. Where else do you find prehistoric sites like Stonehenge, Roman relics like Hadrian’s Wall, medieval monuments like Edinburgh Castle, and some of the world’s most modern and hip cities? Start in England, where you can experience the world in one city (and from the top of a double-decker bus) in melting-pot London. Soak in British gentility in sophisticated Bath, absorb the bookish calm of elite Oxford, or party in beachside clubs in quirky Brighton. Let in the power of Belfast’s political murals in Northern Ireland. Experience the irresistibly defiant Welsh spirit in rapidly transforming Cardiff. Be wowed by fireworks and fun during Edinburgh’s festival season. And stop by a pub along the way.

TONIGHT!!! Experience some A-grade Magic, Oxford style.

Head to the Cape of Good Hope tonight from 9pm to witness magic from Keiron the Mighty! The Cape pub is a popular student haunt and has some really great deals on food and drink almost every night of the week. The pub is in an atmospheric location at the start of the Cowley Rd, a street packed with bars, clubs and restaurants, and is always buzzing. I would get there early because Keiron the Mighty has a solid following in Oxford and the pub will probably... Read More
