Relocating to England

England is a country that is part of the United Kingdom. It shares land borders with Scotland to the north and Wales to the west. The English Lowlands are to the south of the Pennines, consisting of green rolling hills, including the Cotswold Hills, Chiltern Hills, North and South Downs—where they meet the sea they form white rock exposures such as the cliffs of Dover. The granite Southwest Peninsula in the West Country includes upland moorland, such as Dartmoor and Exmoor, and enjoys a mild climate; both are national parks. The weather is damp relatively frequently and is changeable. The coldest months are January and February, the latter particularly on the English coast, while July is normally the warmest month. The Greater London Urban Area is by far the largest urban area in England and one of the busiest cities in the world. England’s economy is one of the largest in the world, Usually regarded as a mixed market economy, it has adopted many free market principles, yet maintains an advanced social welfare infrastructure. London is the largest financial centre in Europe, and as of 2009 is also the largest in the world.

The National Health Service (NHS) is the publicly funded healthcare system in England responsible for providing the majority of healthcare in the country.

The Department for Transport is the government body responsible for overseeing transport in England. Bus transport across the country is widespread, the red double-decker buses in London have become a symbol of England. Rail transport in England is the oldest in the world: passenger railways originated in England in 1825. The largest airport is London Heathrow, which is the world’s busiest airport measured by number of international passengers.

The Department for Education is the government department responsible for issues affecting people in England up to the age of 19. State-run and -funded schools are attended by approximately 93% of English school children. After finishing compulsory education, pupils take a GCSE examination , following which they may decide to continue in further education for two years.

You may also be required to show your return ticket. The longer your planned stay the more likely they’ll question you about these matters.

You can access healthcare for free depending on your visa status. If your country belongs to the European Union or you are on a student or work visa, then you can use the National Health Service (NHS) for free.
