Safety:Very safe

England, inclusive of its larger cities like London, Bath, and Manchester, is generally safe for solo female travelers. The law enforcement is reliable and there are clear systems in place to promote safety. Instances of crime are relatively low and it's easy to navigate with a variety of safe public and private transportation options. Still, like anywhere, it is important to stay vigilant, especially in quieter areas or when traveling late at night. Also, it's advisable to keep your belongings close to avoid pickpockets in crowded areas.

Transport:Easy

The UK has an extensive and efficient transport network which makes travel relatively simple. It's possible to explore cities and towns via buses, underground trains, or taxis. Long distance travel can also be navigated by trains or coaches. Some rural areas might be less connected and thus slightly challenging. Nonetheless, frequent services and friendly locals often ready to help, ensure that getting around is mostly convenient. However, it is advisable to plan in advance during holidays due to increased crowds.

Things to do:Fascinating

England is incredibly rich with sites and activities to explore. If you're a history buff, you will find a treasure trove of historical landmarks such as the iconic Tower of London, Warwick Castle, and the Roman Baths. For nature lovers, there are beautiful parks like Hyde Park and Lake District National Park. In addition, England is home to world-renowned museums such as the British Museum and Natural History Museum that caters to a wide range of interests. You can also explore the charming, picturesque towns and villages if you're after a more relaxed pace, or dive into the bustling city life in London, Manchester or Liverpool. The wide variety of cuisine is also a delight - from traditional fish & chips to exploring Food Markets like Borough Market in London. Hence, there is rarely a dull moment in England.

Food:Above average

The food in England is indeed good and diverse. On your culinary journey, you'll discover traditional English dishes like fish and chips, and shepherd's pie. Furthermore, due to its multicultural inhabitants, it offers a broad selection of international cuisine varieties such as Indian, Chinese, Italian and more. Some street markets even serve food from all over the world. Although some may argue English food lacks in flair compared to other European cuisines, the quality of the ingredients particularly in homemade or high-end dishes is genuinely noteworthy.

Budget:Moderate

England offers a range of options that cater to various budgets. However, it's not the cheapest destination, especially in big cities like London. Accommodation, food and attractions can be quite expensive. However, there are also numerous free museums, cheaper public transportation options like buses, and cost-effective food choices like street food and local markets.
