The English way of life: what does it really mean?

Having heard about British restraint and conservatism, you want to understand whether these stereotypes correspond to reality, to learn about the other side of British life and try to feel it from the inside. Undoubtedly, the best way to find out is to visit the Foggy Albion. On the other hand, within the framework of a tourist trip, it is difficult to understand anything about how people live, the way of life, lifestyle and everyday life of the British. In this article we will try to understand it, and also learn how to live like the English without leaving Kiev.

Together with the New England Residential Complex, we decided to find out what the "English way of life" means, how the new generation sees it, and how to experience it without traveling to the UK.

How is the English way of life organized?

Is it stiff London or aristocratic Oxford, or maybe industrial Manchester or Liverpool - the city of The Beatles? British life doesn't vary too much from region to region. Throughout England, life is dimensional and fuss-free. The British value their time, so they try to find work closer to home, so that they can get to the office in no more than 15-20 minutes and do not waste time on the road. The working day mostly ends by 17:00, taking into account that by 18:00 you still need to have time to prepare dinner. Traditions are sacred!

Spending time at home is a delight for the British. According to statistics, about 45% of Britons spend their Sundays at home watching movies and TV shows. And housework or gardening is not a burden for a true Briton! So don't be surprised if when you visit your British friend, you catch him in a bed or selflessly mowing the lawn. Taking care of the house and garden is a special kind of meditation for the British, passed down from generation to generation.

Living like the English without leaving Kyiv

All of the above described is close to you? There is a solution for those who dream about the English style of life in Kyiv - the residential complex "New England".

What is New England? It starts with architecture and landscape, and continues with true English values and a new quality of life: a completely new approach to the organization of space and an expanded set of services for residents. As for the architectural solution, the houses are designed in the English neoclassical style and will appeal to connoisseurs of the English style.

Architecture

English style in interior and architecture is a mixture of luxury and restraint. The measured lifestyle of the English is a red thread that runs through their favorite stylistic solutions. No one combines restrained classics and luxury as elegantly as the British. However, in their interpretation, it is not ostentatious wealth. This is refined aristocratism, which does not shout about itself, but modestly but confidently declares its existence.

This is dictated by centuries of royal heritage and respect for the history of their country. However, the colonial past also makes itself felt. Even in the classical style, you can sometimes find echoes of Indian and Chinese styles.

As a tribute to this style, in "New England" it is categorically forbidden to glass balconies. You must agree that this does not fit into the neoclassical architectural ensemble. The issue with air conditioners is also solved as elegantly as possible - on the facades of houses specially made stylized "baskets", which do not violate, but decorate the facade.

Location

LCD "New England" is a personal space away from the public bustle. The residential complex is located in the greenest area of the capital - Goloseevo. Nearby are Goloseevsky Park, VDNH, and a little further - Theophany. Transport interchange and proximity to the metro station "Vasilkovskaya" make the LCD convenient for logistical reasons - you can get to the city center in 10-15 minutes by car.

A huge plus is that everything is "at hand": cafes, restaurants, supermarkets, pharmacies, schools, and kindergartens. At the same time, the complex is located at a sufficient distance from highways, which allows you to create a cozy atmosphere inside the "town", because next to it is Golosiivsky forest - one of the oldest and largest in Europe. What is not Kyiv Sherwood?

Neighborhood

It is not surprising that the residential complex has also appealed to the natives of the United Kingdom living in Kyiv. Here you will be immersed in the atmosphere of a cozy English town.

According to psychologists, the environment in which we are more than anything affects the formation of character and worldview. So don't be surprised if you start eating oatmeal in the mornings and in the afternoons you have an irresistible urge to drink tea, with milk. The 5 o'clock tea, sir!

Economy and Energy

EfficiencyToday, one of the main features that the British consider when choosing homes is energy efficiency. Modern English houses, like "thermoses", retain and preserve heat in the apartment, and individual metering of the heat used allows homeowners to manage their own spending.

This technology was adhered to and the developers of LCD "New England".

Family Values

In "New England" there are places for recreation for the whole family: planned summer theater for watching movies on warm summer evenings, equipped with picnic areas and barbecues to celebrate a holiday or just have a good time.

Security is paramount - the territory is closed from outsiders and provided with round-the-clock video surveillance. Children living in this residential complex have the opportunity to receive preschool and junior school education without leaving the complex - after all, a kindergarten and a junior school with advanced study of English will be built on the territory.

Ideal housing for people who are active on social networks

Get ready for questions about moving to the UK. Landscape solutions on the territory of the residential complex will provide your social network profiles with a stream of new photos as if you really moved to the Foggy Albion.

It is impossible not to notice "New England" - along the road there are bright red and extremely beautiful English telephone booths - the "unofficial symbol" of Great Britain. They beckon you to stop by for a walk around the complex and take photos against the backdrop of beautiful houses and brightly colored boxes.

Choose your county

Each house has its own unique name, and the master plan of the complex repeats the geography of the Kingdom of Great Britain:

Phase I: Liverpool, Cambridge, Oxford

The Cambridge and Oxford sections are sure to appeal to lovers of classical education, while fans of The Beatles will love Liverpool.

img

Phase II: Chester, Birmingham, Bristol

Whether it's the Victorian spirit of Chester, cosmopolitan Birmingham or harbor-side Bristol, the second phase of New Anglia will soon be welcoming residents.

Phase III: Manchester, London, Brighton

With the launch of Phase III, New Anglia will feature sections dedicated to the British capital, home of the legendary Manchester FC and the UK's premier resort city.

Phase IV: Newcastle and Lincoln

The final chord will be sections inspired by medieval Lincoln and Newcastle, known for its vibrant nightlife
