In the immortal words of Hugh Grant’s prime minister in the film Love Actually, we may be a small country, but we’re a great one too. A country of Shakespeare, Churchill, The Beatles, Sean Connery, Harry Potter, David Beckham’s right foot… David Beckham’s left foot come to that…” British culture is just as celebrated as its history, so if you’re looking to find out more about what makes Britain, well… British, read on!
To find out more about the fab four (aka John, Paul, George and Ringo) you have to head to Liverpool where you can find the clubs that the Beatles, alongside other greats like Cilla Black, rose to fame, as well as their former homes. In London, there are memorials to Amy Winehouse who famously lived in Camden and David Bowie near Camberwell, as well as walking tours giving you a chance to experience the very things that inspired their song writing.
