Welcome to the May/June 2024 issue of BRITAIN! Here’s what to expect from the new issue…
Looking for some inspiration for your summer travels in Britain? We’ve travelled to the furthest reaches of the British Isles this issue to bring you page after page of beautiful landscapes and stirring stories. First, to the island of Jersey, whose French street names and balmy weather belie a proudly British spirit.
At the opposite end of our shores, we go on the whisky trail in the Scottish Highlands and discover why Speyside is a wonderful place for a wee dram (or two).
Elsewhere this issue, from the world-famous Changing of the Guard at Buckingham Palace to quirky traditions at the Tower of London, there is a spectacular calendar of ceremonial events in London. But what does this symbol-laden pageantry reveal about the city’s past?
And, Once the seaside retreat of London’s high society, this colourful, artistic and eccentric city is a jewel on Britain’s south coast. We reveal all in our Brighton city guide.
Plus, you could be in with a chance of winning a luxury stay in a historic London hotel!
