British West Indies British West Indies Travel Guide
Located within the consular area of the United States Embassy, in Bridgetown, Barbados are the islands of Anguilla, British Virgin Islands and Montserrat. The British Virgin Islands and Anguilla both have reasonably urbanized financial systems with tourist facilities extensively available, but Montserrat is an island that is still recuperating from a series of volcanic eruptions from the Soufriere Hills Volcano. Access to the southern parts of Montserrat is under constraints, with an intense number of inhabitants dwelling in the northern designated safe zones. Located within the consular region of the U.S. Embassy in Kingston, Jamaica, is the Cayman Islands and within the consular area of the U.S. Embassy in Nassau, Bahamas is the Turks and Caicos Islands. The Turks and Caicos is a large group of eight islands and many unoccupied smaller coral islands. When it comes to tourism, most entertainment is located on the Provo and Grand Turk islands, with the U.S. dollar being the monetary unit of currency and credit card acceptance in the bigger hotels and stores. |

The term British West Indies refers to territories in and around the Caribbean which were at one time colonised by the United Kingdom.[1] Collectively these territories are also now known as the Anglophone Caribbean. Between 1958 and 1962 all of the island territories except the British Virgin Islands and the Bahamas were organised into the West Indies Federation. It was hoped that the Federation would become independent as a single nation, but it had limited powers, many practical problems and a lack of popular support, and was consequently dissolved. Most of the territories, including all the larger ones, are now independent as separate countries in the Commonwealth of Nations, while some of the smaller ones remain British dependencies. All the nations of the British West Indies, except Dominica are Commonwealth Realms.
