Most of England consists of rolling lowland terrain, divided east from west by more mountainous terrain in the Northwest (Cumbrian Mountains of the Lake District) and north (the upland moors of the Pennines) and limestone hills of the Peak District by the Tees-Exe line. The lower limestone hills of the Isle of Purbeck, Cotswolds, Lincolnshire and chalk downs of the Southern England Chalk Formation. The main rivers and estuaries are the Thames, Severn and the Humber Estuary. The largest urban area is Greater London. Near Dover, the Channel Tunnel links the United Kingdom with France. There is no peak in England that is 1,000 metres (3,300 ft) or greater.

Scotland's geography is varied, with lowlands in the south and east and highlands in the north and west, including Ben Nevis, the highest mountain in the British Isles at 1,344 metres (4,408 ft). There are many long and deep-sea arms, firths, and lochs. Scotland has nearly 800 islands, mainly west and north of the mainland, notably the Hebrides, Orkney Islands and Shetland Islands. The capital city is Edinburgh, the centre of which is a World Heritage Site. The largest city is Glasgow.

Wales is mostly mountainous, the highest peak being Snowdon at 1,085 metres (3,560 ft) above sea level. North of the mainland is the island of Anglesey. The largest and capital city is Cardiff, located in South Wales.

Northern Ireland, making up the north-eastern part of Ireland, is mostly hilly. The main cities are Belfast ('BÃ©al Feirste' in Irish) and Londonderry / Derry ('Doire' in Irish). The province is home to one of the UKâ€™s World Heritage Sites, the Giant's Causeway, which consists of more than 40,000 six-sided basalt columns up to 40 feet (12 m) high. Lough Neagh, the largest body of water in the British Isles, by surface area (388 kmÂ² / 150 miÂ²), can be found in Northern Ireland.

In total it is estimated that the UK includes around 1,098 small islands, some being natural and some being crannogs, a type of artificial island which was built in past times using stone and wood, gradually enlarged by natural waste building up over time.

Seems like a pretty open ended question. I lived in London about 20 years ago. Average temp during the summer was about mid 70s (farenheit) and very humid. Winters are cold and damp/wet. Plan to carry an umbrella constantly. Morning sunshine will probably be afternoon rain most of the time.
You can expect things to be very very expensive. I found I was spending one English Pound like I would one U.S. dollar and that was with an exchange rate of an average $2.25 per Pound. One exception was wool products. A wool sweater in England cost about the same as an acrylic sweater in the U.S.
In the U.K. social life centers around the pub. Everybody has a favorite pub and they are generally very abundant. Besides the beers and spirits served, pubs are also known for their food at a good value.
