Re: Traveling
I went to the English countryside (Bearstead, some 40 miles east of London, a bit outside of Maidstone) for the partypoker "world open" that I qualified for online.
About my favorite part of it was the train ride from the tube to the town. The countryside is very beautiful.
I can't say I'd recommend it for a trip because there's not a ton to do and there's no legal poker (when we played in the TV studio they couldn't officially let money change hands). I only spent a night in London, and only in the Gutshot for an evening, which was a good time, but I didn't get any real taste of the city.
The only really useful info I can provide- the UK is damn expensive. Given the current exchange rates, it's pretty brutal. Expect to pay roughly the same amount in pounds for a given product as you would pay in dollars in the US.
Hope others get the ball rolling better...
