Places of interest:
There are many places that you just have to see while you are staying in the UK and the best thing is that you don’t even have to spend much to see them.

With direct train services between Stratford-upon-Avon and London Marylebone every two hours, seven days a week, let us take you to this glorious place.
At number 2: Warwick Castle. This is Britain’s Greatest Mediaeval Experience and you could live it. The best thing is that, when you go by train you can get 2 FOR 1 on entry. We run at least two train an hour from London Marylebone to Warwick Station and you can even see the castle from the Station!
At number 3: Bicester Village. Here you can grab yourself a bargain at the chicest street outside of London, and still only one hour away.
