In this Adventure, our friends Asterix and Obelix go to Britain to help the Britons against the Romans.

They travel around the isle and they learn about Briton costums, food and drink, sports...

They visit Londinium (London) , the Tower of Londinium, they meet the Four Fab, they attend a rugby match and, as usually, they fight against the Romans in an unequal quarrel.
