websites for the UK

I am looking to put a list together of websites for London and the rest of the UK. I am planning a trip for the next year sometime and would like to start researching it. I know that we will go to London but haven't decided where else to go in the UK so any and all websites would be welcomed so that I could research them and see what appeals to us. Thanks for any and all help.

Hi- There are lots of sites you will find out. One of my favorites is http://home.about.com/aboutuk/index.htm?PM=59_3201_T Great regional information, useful forums, current events for the whole of UK , something for everyone. www.visitbritain.com , www.londontown.com ,www.travelscotland.co.uk ,www.english-heritage.org.uk ,www.londontransport.co.uk , are some others that maybe helpful. www.nationaltrust.org.uk , for the national trust.

Here are a few that I used often to plan and get ready for my trip last May, though most of them were specifically for London: www.rail.co.uk Great site to look at time tables for most cities in the UK www.thetrainline.com also does the same thing and includes prices as well, though I found this site slow-moving and not operating all the time (maybe it's just my software) www.thisislondon.co.uk Daily news, weather, entertainment pages, plus a visitor's page with lots of links to tourist sites, museums, etc. www.timeout.com/london THE entertainment/dining guide for London www.ticketmaster.co.uk Current shows, prices, schedules, seating charts. Hope some of these help.
