From architecture and music to computer games and film, the UK is brimming with innovation, eccentricity, multiculturalism and all-round creative energy.

The UK has a long tradition of leadership in arts and design and is continuously inspired by new ways of thinking. A unique spirit of innovation and creative energy gives the UK a real edge and there is a constant appetite to challenge, invent, question and create. The creative industries sector comprises a range of sub-sectors including advertising, architecture, fashion, film and video, software and computer services, and television and radio. UK-developed digital games such as Tomb Raider are renowned all over the world. The UK is also a world leader in television production and is the second largest exporter of TV programmes.
