Britain is known for its thriving music scene, and English artists have fans worldwide. Due to most of the world speaking the language, English songs dominate pop music, and artists from other countries often release songs in English.

The most influential band of all time, The Beatles, was from Liverpool and started a transatlantic cultural movement known as the “British Invasion” of rock and roll music. There are many attractions and landmarks in Liverpool catered to the band and overall English music scene; certainly, one of the important facts about England to know when visiting.

Some of England’s other global artists are Ed Sheeran, Adele, Elton John, Queen, and David Bowie.

One of the proudest England cultural facts is the creation of the National Health System (NHS) in 1948.

It’s funded by taxation and free to citizens at the point of delivery. Principally, it’s designed to be available based on medical needs rather than an individual’s ability to pay for healthcare. Medicine is heavily subsidized and available on prescription from a doctor or pharmacist at a flat-rate fee.

The NHS has 1.7 million staff, making it the world’s fifth-largest employer and the biggest non-military public service.
