Whilst comparing travel quotes from different travel insurances for UK, make sure you are aware of the following:
The British Pound Sterling (£, GBP) is the official currency of the UK. Each pound is divided into 100 pence (100p = £1).
The most common banknotes are £5, £10, £20, £50 and £100. £1 notes also exist, but these are extremely rare, as only notes printed by The Bank of Scotland remain in circulation, and printing of new £1 notes ceased in 2001.
The coins in circulation are 1p, 2p, 5p, 10p, 20p, 50p and £1 and £2. Special editions of £5 coins are sometimes released, but their circulation is theoretical.
As of 24th June 2024, the currency exchange rates of GBP are as follows:
The UK is called ‘The Exquisite Island Nation!’
Bustling cities, enchanting castles, enthralling coastlines, lush countryside, literary landmarks, and a global hub of art and culture—the UK has always been a famous tourist spot, owing to its rich history, beautiful terrain, and, of course, its iconic literary background and educational institutions.
Moreover, the number of tourists travelling to the UK is only increasing this year due to the popular World Cup, which is all set to begin soon!
The best time to visit the UK is during the spring (late March - June) or autumn (September - November), and the weather is also pleasant during this time as it will probably not rain much (so there will be no gloomy days!).
However, the summer months aren’t too bad either, except you’ll probably be surrounded by tons of tourists from all over!
For those who’d like to experience the cold, the winter months can be a decent time to visit too, with the Winter Wonderland and other winter activities in full swing too.
