We spent 3 1/2 weeks there, mostly London, some up in York - no shortage of fascinating stuff to do!

Things we really enjoyed:
- London Museum of Transport
- The Victoria & Albert for more artsy stuff
- Bletchley Park (spent all day there, but it's an hour north by train - highly recommend for tech/history nerds)
- Greenwich (many sites there, but the talks/tours at the observatory are 👍)

Sometimes. Often I just run my service(s) with a local runtime (version pegged, of course). But we do use testcontainers for spinning up test dependencies like a new Postgres DB for example. Or a Kafka broker... stuff like that.
