Anywhere in Europe is not cheap, but England (and the rest of the UK) is expensive, especially travel costs such as trains and taxis, while food and hotels aren't cheap either. London is the most expensive of all, so make sure you have plenty of money. That said, London IS the place to be for the average tourist. If you plan on moving or living here in the UK, then the further North you can get from London, the cheaper the cost of living, so somewhere like Manchester might be best. If you like walking and the outdoors then try somewhere like the Lake District near Windermere and do some camping. Other popular tourist places include Stratford-on-Avon (Shakespeare's birthplace) or the important cathedral towns of Canterbury and York. Up in Scotland, Edinburgh is nice, but I would probably recommend London more as there are dozens of musemns and attractions to visit.

There's lots to see in England, and the rest of the UK as well. Start off in London as most people suggest. Not only is it the capital, but it's the easiest place to get to from Europe, and you can get to anywhere else in the UK from there.
Apart from that, it all depends on how much time and money you have. Good cities to see which are near to London are Oxford and Cambridge, which have some beautiful architecture. Other cities in the general vicinity include Canterbury, famous for its cathedral, Bath, which is slightly further but worth a visit as it has beautiful Georgian architecture.
Further away from London, you have cities such as Edinburgh, York, Manchester, and lots more.
For countryside, you're spoilt for choice, as there is great variety in the English countryside. You can see the rolling hills of the Southern Downs, the picturesque villages in the Cotswolds or the more rugged West Country, the mountains of the Lake District, the Yorkshire Moors and more.

I have been traveling a lot in England, and most places were good.
Buy a good guidebook and you can go all around the country. I like the Lonely Planet series, it has hotel/hostel info, as well as info on things to do and see and how to get around.
If you travel a relative short period and want to see most of the country a rail pass is worth having.

If you have a longer time or want to stay in a smaller area, just buy tickets as you go.
Same for coaches, cheaper and may work well, (but I have never used them myself so I do not know how the prices work out against a pass,):

Some of my favorite areas:
Lake district, Cornwall, Yorkshire, East Anglia.
And do not forget the rest of the UK, Scotland and Wales are beautiful too.
Town are good, London is a must, but do not forget to go to some of the small villages, they show you England!

a million) avert London - there is far greater to England than London. 2) Get your self a map. seek for the rivers TEES and EXE and draw a line between the two the place each and each meets the sea. England north of that line is hilly and south of that line is often flat. So if nation-state is your element you plenty want to pass to a particuar section. 3) do not attempt to "do England" is each and every week, you will omit too plenty. pick a close-by as a base and detect from there. 4) attempt to soak up an English game - rugby, soccer (do not call it soccer), cricket, try English beer, English nutrients. 5) English pubs - the international's maximum superb. seek for a "loose homestead" they're the main suitable ones as independant. 6) have exciting !!!

As another answer says- I would probably start in London, especially if you want things historic or cultural. Cities like Bath, Lincoln, Canterbury and many others also have good historic interest.
For scenery - choose the Lake District, Snowdonia in Wales, Derbyshire for its hills and dales (very beautiful) The Yorkshire Moors, Exmoor and Dartmoor in the SouthWest of England or almost anywhere in Scotland.
