Budget
The currency is the pound sterling. The Brexit shock in June 2016 caused the value of the pound to fall, which is influenced by announcements and negotiations. Going to England is relatively expensive and the trip will not be economical. However, while prices are high, there are disparities between cities such as London or Oxford, and those such as Liverpool, Manchester or Leeds, where the cost of living is significantly lower. A trip to England, however, is always in the high price range when you want to visit the country of Queen Elizabeth II. Going shopping in the shops of these big cities will not be without consequences for your travel budget. Fortunately, pubs are well established and a drink with friends will not cost you more than in France.
Health
In England, sanitary conditions are generally good and hygiene is respected in the majority of establishments. Tap water is drinkable. European tourists will benefit, under the aegis of the National Health Service (English social security), from free treatment in the event of an accident or emergency, on presentation of their passport or identity card. Social protection is provided by municipalities, sometimes jointly with local NHS providers and agencies. First check that the hospital or doctor is dependent on the NHS. Remember to take the European Health Insurance Card (care in EU countries) with you from your health insurance fund. This will facilitate care in the event of on-site care. EU nationals can benefit from free care by being temporarily registered by the doctor consulted on the NHS register.
