Millions of people have chosen to stay in the UK this year. The media minister, John Whittingdale, told Sky News: “You can have a great holiday in Britain and I think a very large number of people will decide this year that that’s what they will do.”
But how to arrange it? With demand surging, in some parts of the country, prices are high and availability is low.
The solution: choose a great British city over coast or countryside. They have good connections, heritage and gastronomy in abundance, and hotels at very competitive prices.
