Briefings Places Dexter

The desk

Dexter keeps it.

Ask about the country, this index, or the journey from wherever you are starting. He will not invent today’s opening hours, and he will not sell you a ticket.

He is useful on: Arrivals, rail, wet Sundays, where to sleep, and which page of the index to open.
The four: England, Scotland, Wales, Northern Ireland — and a clear line around what is not the UK.

Dexter

The palace, the tower, a train from abroad. Ask, and I shall tell you what is worth the journey.

Ask Dexter

Confirm visas, tickets and times before you go.

White papers for one country, and Dexter at the desk — the journey in, and the day once you are here.

England, Scotland, Wales and Northern Ireland.

Crown Dependencies and Overseas Territories are neighbours, not members. The Republic of Ireland is a separate state.
