There’s always a bunch of stereotypes about every single country and its residents. However, they are not always true. British people get really frustrated when different stereotypes are enforced on them. Who wouldn’t? So let’s dispel all the myths that people have made up about Britain and British people.

1 THERE’S NOTHING TO DO OUTSIDE OF LONDON

Most tourists don’t travel anywhere further than London. Those who have never been to England mostly are unable to name any famous sights outside of London.

There is lots to see. For example, take a trip to the south to have a walk in New Forest. There’s also the famous Lake District in the north west of England. Cambridge, Oxford, and Bath are the best destinations if you want to see beautiful architecture and learn more about English history.

Scotland, Northern Ireland and Wales are part of the United Kingdom and you can easily travel there on your British visa.

2 BRITISH PEOPLE ONLY DRINK TEA

They also love a pint in the pub on Thursdays and Fridays and a coffee in the morning.

Although They do love tea with milk and drink quite a lot of it during the day. Learn more about how to make a perfect English cuppa.

3 EVERYONE IN ENGLAND SPEAKS LIKE THE QUEEN

In England alone there are so many different accents not to mention Scottish, Welsh and Irish accents. Hardly anyone speaks like the Queen as it’s considered a bit old-fashioned. The average London-born Brit either speaks with a cockney accent or a normal London accent.

In Newcastle people have a Geordie accent, in Manchester people speak with a Mancunian accent while the Birmingham accent is called a Brummie accent.

4 HEATHROW IS THE ONLY AIRPORT IN BRITAIN

Heathrow is the biggest airport in the UK however, not the only one. For example, there’s Gatwick Airport which is in south London and London City Airport most people use for business trips.

British people support their local football club or inherit their football team from their parents.

There are people who love the Royal Family, who dislike them and those who absolutely don’t care for them. Some members of the Royal Family don’t do that much which occasionally causes complaints from the general public.

However, from time to time we get an extra holiday when something important happens. The Royals also attract quite a lot of tourists who bring money into the country.
