  • Around 5pm is one of the busiest times to be on the road in this destination. Try to avoid peak times generally for a smoother trip.

  • You'll be using the British pound (GBP) for all your purchases and expenses on your trip. You may find it useful to carry a mix of cash and cards to make sure you're always covered.

  • English is the language you'll hear most often in this country.
