England reveals its face not as a brightly colored map. Nothing is clearly marked, the boundaries are not shaded. It is solid land, but the sun and fog give it a vague charm. As soon as the sunlight disappears, everything around becomes gray, looks gloomy and dank. As soon as the fog disappears completely, the earth appears naked in streams of sunlight and the enchantment ends. Such, therefore, is the English soul, where joy and sadness play like light and shadow, like sun and fog. A soul that, without this foggy golden haze, is completely deprived of charm, revealing to us an Englishman with leaden eyes, whom satirists portray. John B. Priestley John B. Priestley


England England England (English England) is the largest historical and administrative part of the United Kingdom of Great Britain and Northern Ireland, officially a country within it, occupying the south-eastern part of the large island of Great Britain, known as England. mainland. The population of England makes up 83% of the total population of Great Britain. England became a union of once-warring counties in 927 and takes its name from the Angles, one of the Germanic tribes who settled there in the 5th and 6th centuries. The capital of England is London, the largest city in the UK and the European Union.


The Kingdom of England, including the Principality of Wales, was a separate state until May 1, 1707, when it united with Scotland to form the Kingdom of Great Britain. England occupies two thirds of the island of Great Britain. It borders on Scotland in the north and Wales in the west. The landscape of England consists mainly of rolling hills, becoming more mountainous towards the north. Highlands and lowlands are conventionally divided along a line running between the mouth of the River Tees (Teesside) in the north-east and the mouth of the River Exe (Devon) in the south-west. To the east is low-lying marshland that has been largely drained for agricultural use.


Administrative division of England Since 1999, England has been divided into 9 government regions (Government Office Regions): Name of the region in Russian Name of the region in English Population, thousand. people (2005) North East North East 2 539 North West North West 6 805 Yorkshire and the Humber Yorkshire and the Humber 5 009 East Midlands East Midlands 4 252 West Midlands West Midlands 5 320 East East of England 5 463 London London 7 388 South East South East 8 080 South West regionSouth West4 909


A manifestation of England's oceanic climate is instability, gusty winds and fog. The mountains act as a barrier, trapping moist air in the west. Winters in England are wet and mild. The average January temperature is +4, +6. The southwest wind increases winter temperatures, but brings rain and storms. East and north-east winds bring frost to England. Snow rarely falls in the south of England. In the eastern regions, winter is colder. In spring, cold northern winds blow and little rain falls. Summer is cool. The July temperature in the southeast of Great Britain is from +16 to +32 C. In autumn, cyclones intensify. Rains are accompanied by storms. Fogs are associated with the contrast of mixed temperatures: warm air and the cold surface of the islands. Climate


Nature Britain is the most urbanized country in the world. At the same time, the British do not strive to live in cities. Seeing, through the thick fog, the white-green line of the island, Julius Caesar's legionnaires named it Albion (white). They admired the ability of English green meadows to maintain emerald freshness all year round. The nature of England is well-groomed, deserted, unstable, and devoid of contrasts. Only the “Private Property” signs remind of the presence of people in these places. England's landscapes are a compromise between nature and art. Here you rarely see both forest thickets and rows of alleys. Watching the bends of English roads, it seems that no one here is trying to get from one point to another. “England's roads reflect a tendency to tweak what's already there. They do not dissect the natural pattern that time has left on the face of the earth.”


London Today London is a large international center and covers an area of ​​about 625 square meters. miles. This is an amazing world that many foreign tourists see first from the height of an airplane, marveling at the zigzag ribbon of the Thames and the beauty of its numerous bridges. London is home to 7 million people who live not in nameless suburbs, but in the former towns that made up it, in Westminster and in areas that have retained the features of their provincial past - in Marylebone and Kensington, Hampstead and Highgate - where central streets and historical monuments remind of the people who created the London that each generation discovers anew.

In 1314, King Edward II by decree prohibited "possession with a large ball." For the next two centuries, ball games and their participants were persecuted. “Amnesty” followed only in 1603 from Queen Elizabeth I.
