People & language
If there’s one thing the English people are known for around the world, it’s an air of polite reserve. That quality is perhaps a little overstated nowadays, but if you’re new to vacationing in England it certainly helps to have a guide to a sometimes veiled language.London is one of the world’s most multicultural cities, and in 10 minutes walking down the street you might hear a dozen different languages, and smell 20 different national cuisines cooking. Leave the capital behind to explore England’s national parks, long distance walking trails or rugged coast, meanwhile, and you get a sense of the vastly different regional dialects in this small country.
Another thing that visitors to England quickly notice is the differences between city folk and country folk. Try sparking a conversation on the London Underground, then comparing your experience to how easy it is to fall into conversation with canal boaters on the Thames path, or fellow walkers in Exmoor.
