The capitol is London, and that is a city with a lot of important history and it is a popular city to visit for tourists. London has a lot of well known buildings as Buckingham Palace, where the king and queen lives. But it also has Big Ben, madame Tussaud, London eye and, very good shopping possibilities.
In England it lives a lot of people. With its 53+ million inhabitants, it is the far most popular country in the United Kingdom. England is also political engaged. Since England is the most popular country in United Kingdom, it forms the the major part of the wider politics of the United Kingdom.
The education system in England is divided into different parts, nursery (ages 3-4), primary school (ages 4-11), secondary education (11-18), tertiary education (18+). The education while the child is in an age between 5 and 16 years is compulsory. It does not matter where this education takes place, whether it is at school or at home, as long as it is happening. State rules schools and colleges and financed by taxation, and take pupils in the age of 3-18 free of charge. In England most schools use an uniform. This uniform represents the school, and is compulsory. When uniforms first was introduced in England, they called it "bluecoats". They consisted of long trench coats dyed blue. The government today are encourages pupils to wear uniforms, as it is representing the school spirit and pride.

I have been to London two times, it really love the city. I think, as many others, that the city is a closer and a very good alternative instead of going over the "pond" to New York. And than I think of the shopping possibilities. But it also has a lot of interesting buildings. I had to visit every known place in London. I was really blown away over Buckingham palace and London Eye. They are both really big and look very expensive In London Eye you can see all over London witch is very interesting and you can even count all the bridges that are crossing the well known river Thames.
