“In Milton Keynes, there are lots of nice places to eat and there are lots of pubs everywhere in England, for those that like to socialise! Milton Keynes also has lots of parks where you can socialise and meet friends like Campbell Park and Willen Lake. These places are also good to cycle around!.”
