The Britain is a very condensed countryvand as a result there are plenty of great places to visit. Here are a few places I have visited so far. BrightonBrighton is an intimate city on the southern coast of England. The waterfront view is breathtaking and there are plenty of interesting small shops more towards the city center. The pier area, while cool, reminded me a lot of the tourist trap shenanigans of the Jersey Shore or OBX in North Carolina. GrenwichCIEE held a free tour of Greenwich, where the Meridian Line is located, for any students in London. We took the Thames Clipper up the river in order to get to Greenwich and that was an experience in itself. Views of iconic landmarks could be seen from the perspective of the water. The town was abundant with historical architecture and lovely green spaces. Cool Places in LondonLast weekend I was able to visit Sky Garden, which is the top floor of a large glass building overlooking the Thames River. The views were incredible and the atrium inside was also pretty neat. I was also fortunate enough to see a proper Premier League football match at Arsenal Stadium as well as one of the London NFL games in the Twickenham rugby stadium. Finally, one of my favorite places thus far is the Junk Yard Golf Club. It's a series of 4 indoor mini golf courses made entirely of recycled material. The lighting, music, and two bars create a party-like atmosphere. Furthermore, if you go on a Monday or Tuesday, you can get half priced tickets if your are a student.
