About United Kingdom

The United Kingdom comprises England, Scotland, Wales, and Northern Ireland, situated off the north-western coast of mainland Europe. Its capital, London, ranks among Europe's largest cities. The country shaped much of modern history as the centre of a far-reaching empire and the birthplace of the Industrial Revolution. Visitors find an unusually diverse landscape within a compact area: medieval castles, cosmopolitan cities, the Scottish Highlands, and the rugged coastlines of Wales and Cornwall, alongside a rich tradition in literature, science, and the arts.
