You might not see it in our blog, but we have worked a lot with our London Guide recently. You can see it visibly if you go to the page for upcoming events, exhibitions, festivals, and concerts in London. There you can see that we have written about many ongoing exhibitions and upcoming events.
But, we have been working with other things besides our calendar of events in London. We have also repaired lots of broken links that didn’t work, we have fixed images that didn’t work, and we have made the pages presenting the different attractions, activities, and museums in London look much nicer. Hopefully, these changes will make the page more colorful and make it more inspiring for you as a visitor.
Besides these changes, we have also made some changes that make the website faster to load. In the end, we hope that you as a visitor will find our London Guide better, easier to use, and a useful resource as you look for information about London online.
Instead of just having ordinary links to the pages about the museums in London, we have now added pictures and a short text about the museum. As a result, it will be easier for you to find out if it is a page worth visiting.
If you have any further comments, questions, or anything else on your heart, write a comment below. We would love to hear from you!
We have just created a brand new event about the Christmas markets in London. There you can read about the most important Christmas markets in London, and you can also find information about the dates for the Christmas markets. Doesn’t that sound nice?
The first Christmas markets in London will open already on November 3rd, meaning that Christmas comes early to London this year. Would you like to know more?
Can I purchase a Netflix subscription in the UK? How much does it cost? Will I be able to watch the content on Netflix in the United Kingdom all across the world if I purchase a subscription in the UK?
There is a lot of confusion when it comes to Netflix and when it comes to how the most popular of all streaming portals work and operate. People in the UK love shopping at Amazon.com, and many have an Amazon Prime subscription to get faster and cheaper shipping, and at the same time get access to lots of movies and Amazon TV series. But, if you travel to the United States, you cannot use your Amazon Prime subscription in the UK there.
So, that is why many people believe that they will have to purchase a new Netflix subscription in order to watch Netflix while in the UK. That is a mistake!
To watch Netflix in the United Kingdom, you simply need a Netflix subscription. To rephrase it… your Netflix subscription is global. You can use your Netflix subscription all across the world. It doesn’t matter where it was registered, the only thing that matters is that you actually have a Netflix account.
But, how does that influence the way you use Netflix? Well, now it is time to answer the question about whether or not you will be able to watch UK Netflix worldwide if you purchase a Netflix subscription in the UK!
Can I watch UK Netflix worldwide if I register a Netflix account in the UK?
If you decide to purchase a Netflix account while in the United Kingdom, you will, of course, be able to stream the content of UK Netflix while in the UK. In fact, if you travel to any other EU country, you will still see the content available on Netflix in the UK. This is due to the streaming regulations implemented by the EU in 2018, which says that you should always watch your home Netflix content as you travel within the EU.
But, in the moment you leave the EU, you will no longer see the content of UK Netflix, but instead, you will see the content available on Netflix in the country you are in. If you travel to Egypt, you will see the content available on Netflix in Egypt. Should you go down under, then you will see the content on Netflix in Australia.
As a result, a Netflix account registered in the UK is no guarantee of the fact that you will always see the content available on Netflix in the UK.
What is the price of a Netflix subscription in the UK?
According to a recent study and a Netflix price comparison, the price of a Netflix subscription in the UK is quite similar to those of most other Western countries. In fact, it is cheaper than in many central European countries such as Germany, Italy, Spain, and France. But, compared to Southern-American countries such as Brazil and Argentina, it is quite expensive.
The price of a Netflix subscription in the UK
As you can see in the picture above, the prices are as follows:
Netflix Basic Package: 5,99GBP – 7,85USD
Netflix Standard Package: 8,99GBP – 11,79USD
Netflix Premium Package: 11,99GBP – 15,72USD
The USD prices are based on the conversion rates of March 9th in 2020.
The Basic package includes 1 screen, while the Standard package includes HD streaming and 2 screens. The Premium package includes 4 screens and UltraHD quality streaming.
If you live in a country in which Netflix is cheaper than in the UK, purchase a subscription in your home country and use a VPN to access UK Netflix content instead. That is often easier and using a VPN might be a necessary step no matter what.

Every year, the country of Norway gives a Christmas tree to the city of London as a thank you for their support during the Second World War. This is the most famous Christmas tree in England and every year it is placed on Trafalgar Square. A few years ago, someone compared it to a cucumber, but in 2019, things are getting worse!
Have you ever heard about Spelacchio? That was the name of the Christmas tree in Rome at Piazza Venezia after it looked absolutely terrible and almost without fur and branches a few years ago. This years Christmas tree at the Trafalgar square can for sure be compared to Spelacchio in Rome.
If you see it in the darkness with the lights turned on, it doesn’t look that bad. Just take a look.
Some people wonder why the Norwegians have kept the best trees to themselves, why others wonder what the English people have done to make the Norwegians so angry?
Another person said he “thought the Norwegians left the trolls behind in Norway,” while someone suggested a “plastic surgery” for the tree in order to make it look nicer.
However, the general audience is just grateful for the tree. If you come to London, make sure to check out the Christmas tree at Trafalgar square and have a wonderful time!
Have you been to London and fallen in love with the city? Or maybe you fell in love with the cute cops and the clothes they are wearing? Would you like to get a taste of London as you go home and watch some great police shows on Netflix taking place in London and in England? Here are two suggestions from the London Guide editors.
Have you ever heard of Jed Mercurio? He is a brilliant director and story-writer, and he is the mastermind behind both the TV shows we are about to recommend. It is important to notice that both the recommend shows are BBC productions, making them even better when it comes to bringing the true atmosphere of England into the shows.
So, which are the shows you should watch it you want to listen to British English, see police-officers in the traditional clothes the coppers were in England, and so much more?
Bodyguard
Bodyguard is an amazing BBC series consisting of only six episodes, making it easy to watch and easy to digest. But you should still be careful, it is very addictive, and after a few episodes you will not be able to stop until you are finished with the entire thing.
Bodyguard
Richard Madden has received several awards for his amazing role as a copper who turns into a bodyguard of a very debated politician in England. It is a hard job, especially considering the fact that lots of people hate the politician he is to protect.
Throughout the story, we follow the incidents and we also get a very clear insight into the life of the character of Richard Madden. If you want to watch an amazing TV show tonight, go for Bodyguard. It can be seen in almost all Netflix regions, and you can also watch it at the BBC website. If you live outside the UK, find out more about how you can watch the BBC abroad in this YouTube video.
Line of Duty
This is yet another TV series created by Jed Mercurio. But, while Bodyguard is a show only consisting of 1 season (even though there are rumors about a new season coming later), Line of Duty is made up of 5 seasons, and we are promised that a sixth season is in the making as well. The fifth season just premiered on BBC in England, and it is the result of a fantastic response to the show in England. The first three seasons aired on BBC2 in England, but due to its success, they decided to air the fourth season on BBC1, something that made it enjoy twice as many visitors in season 4 compared to the earlier seasons.
Line of Duty
In Line of Duty, we meet some police officer who try to discover and stop corrupt officers within the police force. That might not be the most convenient job, and if for sure isn’t a way to popularity among fellow police officers, but it is a job that needs to be done.
Line of Duty isn’t as fast paced as Bodyguard, but here the story is built up on solid grounds, and you will quickly be drawn into the story.
I would certainly go for Bodyguard, simply because of its higher pacer and more intense action. But, if you are in for the long run, then you will have many more hours in front of the screen with Line of Duty.
But, why pick only one? Go for Bodyguard first, and then you can start with Line of Duty afterward. You will probably start binge-watching that as well after watching a couple of episodes!
Go ahead and enjoy the shows, and make sure to book your plane tickets so that you can return to London within shortly to see more of the city with your own eyes. You can read more about all the important attractions and sights in London here in our London Guide.
