The originality of the inhabitants of Great Britain, the propensity of many of them for nightlife, love for live music and pubs, are in themselves reasons enough to visit the country. However, the UK is also considered to be a defining factor in innovative trends on the European continent, and it also has a lot to offer culturally.
