When visiting England， most individuals will go to London.Actually， most people don't even know much about England outside of London.It makes sense.It's the capital.There are lots to see there.However, as a northern girl, from a place just between Manchester and Liverpool, and a university student in Sheffield.I'd say the north is well worth a visit, and definitely as good if not better than London!
