Actually,there are many beautiful towns in the UK like Chester,parts of Bath etc-but not so many in the South-East (but many pleasant historic villages/market towns etc)

I know like Stamford, Lincoln is quite nice.

Lovely for shopping and lunch - and the nightlife if fantastic - not as good as Krakow though - but I dont think anywhere on this planet is as good as there!

yes...Krakow has charm it is difficult to describe it but has. Night life i great and all culture events. When I was working in main market I quite liked to walk across it first thing in the morning ...just with sun rise.

Krakow-That has to be an amazing sunrise.

I love the sunrises on the Baltic coast too. I just had 2 beautiful weeks of them

Polish people all seem to live in the worst towns-I guess because they are cheaper for renting.

I don't know. What about London. I think that they live in the places when is work. If they come temporary they look for cheap places to rent . If they plan to stay for longer they move to better areas.

I will put Manchester on my list to visit. It is quite big city probbaly what I miss in quiet Peterborough.


Please look at the Lonely Planet Guide to Britain or Rough Guide to Britain for ideas (from bookshops/library).

I personally think London is a horrible place - dirty, over crowded, people are generally unfriendly and rude complete oposite to Northerners.

I thought the same but didn't want sound rude to say it. I seem more friendly towards north.
London i overcrowded, dirty and overpriced for me.

I personally enjoyed my stay in London a year ago, and found that place very charming. Didn't had any bad experience with Londoners, quite opposite actually. They were always very helpful and polite.

Most people think the same, definately not rude - the Londoners have the manopoly on that one!

charming is not a word I would use to describe London - I actually hate having to go for meetings there - people squashed on the tube and people knocking in to you - a girl fainted just before the exit on the tube last time I was there and people just walked on (I didnt - I offered assistance) - I come from a large city and have never seen such complete and utter lack of compassion, it disgusted me.

Never go to London in summer-it is dirty and polluted.In winter and autumn it is great.Get the tube to Leicester Square tube station.Walk out and you can see Leicester Square, Piccadilly Circus,Chinatown,Trafalgar Square,Covent Garden,National Portrait Gallery,British Museum all for free.Cheap food can be found in Chinatown.Other Places to see are Natural History Museum,Science Museum,Victoria & Albert museum and many more for free(they used to cost £8 each to enter).London has so much to see at no cost-parks,gardens,other galleries etc.

It depends -also,not Brits but Londoners.They can be different like New Yorkers are different to other Americans.Sometimes the tube is very crowded and people actually find it difficult to stop and help because of the pressure of the crowd behind.But some Londoners on the tube can be a bit weird.Sometimes when they see children on the train they stare like they are aliens.

I see. It's similar to the "businessmen" in NYC during rush hour. Didn't really mean to generalize by the way.

You must take care of the enviroment! I have read in some newspaper that Poland
want to build a big higway in a area of stabil naturelife of birds and plants. I think
