6 incredible curiosities about England
London

England is one of the most famous countries and probably many of us have already visited it.

A trip to England would be very interesting. At least if you've never been. We will certainly not present you an encyclopedia through this article, but a list of some simple curiosities belonging to this country.

England, Great Britain or the United Kingdom?

Despite the fact that this place is mentioned by almost everyone, many still do not know the meaning of the difference between these names! England is a country whose capital is London, while the flag is distinguished by a white background with a red cross in the middle. While the flag that we are used to seeing often in red, white and blue is that of the United Kingdom, which is a confederation of four states, England, Scotland, Wales and Northern Ireland. Meanwhile, Great Britain means an island, the one divided into England, Scotland, Wales, but without Northern Ireland, which is on another island (the island of Ireland, obviously).

Most of the territory is owned by the queen

We all know Queen Elizabeth, already for years the monarch of England, but also of other countries around the world. What is interesting in this middle has to do with the fact that everything that belongs to the state is also hers, while she has the right to do anything. But she doesn't, because she's a lady!

The English hardly ever use cars

According to a very interesting statistic, cars in England are parked on average 96% of the time. So the owners use them very little: this is the merit of public transport that works very well or taxis that cost really very little or the other fact that the English have realized that polluted air is bad for their health and the environment around them, but surely it is a very big result.

Elizabeth II, the longest-lived queen in history

6 incredible curiosities about England

Not everyone knows that, at the moment, Queen Elizabeth II is the longest-lived queen in the history of England, who on September 9, 2015 surpassed Queen Victoria's record. And to think that English royal history is longer than that of some other countries: English royal history dates back to 1300, so about 700 years. A really important record! Moreover: the queen is married to a man who is still alive, but who is not king!

Independence Days!

England celebrates two independence days. It may seem impossible to you, because in many countries there is Independence Day, a national holiday celebrating the independence of the country, which was occupied by foreigners in the past. It is known that most of the independence holidays in the world, or about 58 countries, celebrate exactly the liberation from England. It has not been a beloved place throughout history...

30% of Londoners were not born in London

6 incredible curiosities about England

Almost 1/3 of its inhabitants were not born in London, but in other countries of the world, many of them in Italy. It may seem impossible to you, because it is a very different case from many other countries, but here is the truth!
