Special Considerations
Driving in the UK
it is important to consider the type of commute when you select your rental property. Many U.S. families make a decision on a home in the summer months, when daylight lasts until 10 pm at night. They don’t consider that in the winter months when sunset is near 4:00 pm, driving conditions will change dramatically since most country roads have no street lights.

Local British Schools
Local area schools are happy to accept children of U.S. Military members. Many families find this a wonderful opportunity to make friends with British families and better integrate into the community. For more information on enrolling your child into a British school click here
