How can I explore British culture?

You might realize that you have to make an effort to explore British culture if you end up living on your own or in a very international community. Immersing in the local culture can be one of the most enriching elements of a study-abroad experience, and in the UK there are certainly ways to go about it. For example, you can take part in national celebrations, hire local tour guides during trips within the UK, or learn British history through museum visits. However, one of the best ways is to spend time with British people, either with fellow students or at local pubs. You can even stay at the homes of British families through organizations like HOST.
