WEATHER
5 day weather forecast-LONDON-OR-UK
& WORLDWIDE
If you're coming to the UK to live
and work be prepared for all types of weather and don't expect regular seasons.
Best of all, be like the British; treat the weather like an exasperating friend
that can be capricious and unpredictable but can also be surprising, uplifting
and sometimes downright entertaining. And remember, while it may not often be
hot enough to sunbathe or cold enough to ski, the beaches of southern Spain are
only a cheap two hour flight away and the ski slopes of Europe can be reached in
an overnight drive!

MAPS & NAVIGATION
If
you live in the capital, you'll be well aware that London's maze of
streets can prove to be a minefield even for the most streetwise
Cockney. So if you're visiting the capital you'd be well advised to take
a look at this fantastically detailed site. The street maps of the
capital are the equal of anything you'll find in an A-Z while the road
atlases of the rest of UK are also colourful, familiar and easy to
follow.
