Pilot Guides: Destination England

As seen on TV and formally known as Lonely Planet the Pilot Guides are undoubtedly champions of the travel world.

Sitting at the edge of continental Europe, England is a tiny island nation, which gave birth to an Empire that once ruled half the world. Today, almost a quarter of the world's population speaks it language.

Traveller Justine Shapiro embarks on an historic journey across England, exploring its rich past still remembered and alive today; while Jonathan Atherton decides to explore London, Europe's largest capital, a vibrant mix of history, culture, and rock and roll, spiced up by the influence of over 200 different nationalities!
