England is the biggest of the four countries in the United Kingdom. Together with Scotland and Wales, these three countries are the island of Great Britain. When you include Northern Ireland we call it the United Kingdom of Great Britain and Northern Ireland (UK).

Over 50 million people live in England and that's around 80 per cent of the total UK population. It is a multicultural country where more than 250 languages are spoken in the capital city, London. The Houses of Parliament are in central London next to the River Thames and the most famous part is the clock tower, Big Ben.

Language

The official language of England is English. Although everyone speaks English, there are many different accents around the country.

Sport

The most popular sports in England are football, rugby and cricket and most towns have a sports ground where teams can play. English football teams like Manchester United, Chelsea and Liverpool are world-famous. Women's football is also popular and teams play in leagues and competitions all over the country.

Food

England is a very multicultural country and this has a big influence on the food people eat. Indian, Chinese and Italian cuisines are popular alternatives to traditional English food like fish and chips, roast beef or sausage and mash (mashed potatoes).
