2012 is GREAT Britain

We like to think Britain's known as a place of tolerance, but also as a place of passion and energy with a great sense of fun. 

A place where a tradition of independent-mindedness and free thinking fuels a remarkable dynamism and creativity.

But what do others think of us?

We've spoken to some of the many visitors from other countries who have found in the UK a place to study, a place to work or a place of refuge. We asked them to speak about their experiences of the UK. The resulting series of films gives a range of perspectives.
