“We had such a great experience working with Out of Office for our UK tour. As we were lacking international travel experience, it was so nice to have people who knew what they were doing to guide us through.”

Travel Information

In England, luxury experiences are defined by culinary excellence, exclusive accommodations, and personalised tours. London, a culinary hotspot, boasts acclaimed restaurants like The Fat Duck and Restaurant Gordon Ramsay. Luxury accommodation options include prestigious hotels such as Claridge’s. England also offers private tours of iconic landmarks like Buckingham Palace and the Tower of London. For shopping enthusiasts, areas like Savile Row and Bond Street provide bespoke fashion experiences. The country caters to every aspect of luxury travel, blending historical richness with modern sophistication.

Luxury travel extends beyond London’s culinary and hotel scene. The country offers exclusive experiences like private tours of Stonehenge or exploring the historic University of Oxford. Beyond London, the culinary scene shines with Michelin-starred restaurants in the Cotswolds and wine tasting in Sussex. Luxurious countryside retreats in places like the Lake District offer serene beauty, while coastal escapes in Cornwall provide picturesque settings. England’s blend of urban sophistication and rural charm creates a diverse range of luxury travel experiences for discerning travellers.

LGBTQ+ individuals in England benefit from a comprehensive set of equal rights and protections against discrimination, creating a welcoming and inclusive environment for same-sex couples travelling across the country. English society is progressively becoming more accepting and supportive of LGBTQ+ individuals, a change that is mirrored in its legal framework. This progressive stance ensures that LGBTQ+ visitors can expect a respectful and open-minded experience while exploring England’s diverse cities and countryside.

Explore the Cotswolds

With its peaceful country charm and postcard-worthy scenery, the Cotswolds beckons visitors to unwind amidst its natural beauty. Meandering through honey-hued villages like Bibury, Bourton-on-the-Water, and Castle Combe reveals the region’s iconic stone buildings and lush greenery. Both nature enthusiasts and history buffs find much to discover, from the stately Blenheim Palace to the ancient Roman Baths. Whether appreciating the rural idylls or storied landmarks, the Cotswolds entices with quintessential English countryside.

Wander the streets of Bath

Nestled in England’s southwest, Bath captivates visitors with its harmonious blend of exquisite Georgian architecture and historic Roman remains. The ancient Roman Baths offer an immersive glimpse into public bathing’s ancient past through well-preserved ruins and interactive exhibits. Strolling Bath’s streets unveils stunning buildings like the Royal Crescent and the Circus, exemplars of the city’s architectural beauty. For those who relish history and classic architecture, Bath is an essential English sojourn.

Go sightseeing in London

Boasting both iconic landmarks and cosmopolitan energy, London enthralls as a premier British destination. Postcard views of sights like Big Ben, Westminster Abbey, and the London Eye capture the city’s essence. Yet experiencing London’s rich culture and history requires more than snapshots – it deserves full immersion through guided tours revealing the city’s spirit. With endless attractions and vibrant ambience, London promises an unforgettable visit for travellers from across the globe.
