Living in London can be very busy generally, but the upcoming arrival of the Olympics is set to make moving around the city very difficult this summer. So whether you're a local or a holidaymaker from elsewhere in the UK, you'll know that London might not be the best place to go if you want a quiet holiday this year. However, there are lots of other places you can go this summer, and lots of them are right on your doorstep: they can be easily travelled to, because they are scattered across the UK.
The Olympics is obviously a significant cultural, political and cultural event, but there are other events that take place across the UK that are smaller, but no less important than the events in London this summer, such as the Edinburgh Fringe Festival in August, the Manchester Jazz Festival in July, the Liverpool Sound City Festival in August and the World Shakespeare Festival in Newcastle and Gateshead in June. So why not visit another city in the UK to experience something a little different this year? Depending on your location, there will of course be some travel involved in getting to another city, but if you plan your travel far in advance you shouldn't experience any significant delays.
With all the attention being centred on London this summer, you may actually find that the places you want to travel to, be they Edinburgh, Liverpool, Manchester, Newcastle or elsewhere may be a little quieter than usual, which will mean that they will be less busy, and you will probably be able to enjoy them a lot more, as you will be able to spend more time exploring a festival or another city, without worrying about certain venues being too busy.
So, with a few months to go, why not start looking at other cities in the UK that you might want to visit this summer? And why just stop at one city, when you could visit two or more over the course of a few weeks? If this is what you really want to do, then start looking at deals now, in order to beat the rush of other holidaymakers looking to avoid or get out of London for a few days, weeks or even longer. Start looking at travel options now, such as train tickets, plane tickets or the cost of hiring a car from a local car hire company, and think about what it is that you want to do. So if you want to avoid sport altogether, why not head up to Edinburgh for the Fringe Festival for a bit of culture? Or if you feel like listening to some fantastic live jazz, then travel to Manchester for the Jazz Festival, or even, visit both festivals?
Wherever you decide to go this summer, it's vital that you book your accommodation before you leave the comfort of your own home, and if you are travelling to other destinations in the UK, why not book your hotel in Edinburgh, Manchester Piccadilly Hotel or Liverpool right now? Booking early will save you money, and will also leave you more time to organise your trip.
While London may be out of the picture this Summer, there are so many things that the UK has to offer a holidaymaker, so why not explore a part of the country that you've never been to before? It could be the best decision you make all year.
