Cheerio! Welcome to the United Kingdom Pavilion, one of the pavilions in the World Showcase in EPCOT that will transport you to the charming landscapes and rich history of the United Kingdom.
Be prepared to start talking with a mellifluous accent, crave fish and chips, and need afternoon tea.
Atmosphere
The United Kingdom Pavilion is designed to resemble a picturesque English village, complete with cobblestone streets, thatched roofs, and quaint Tudor-style architecture. Strolling along the charming pathways, you’ll encounter various shops, cafes, and iconic landmarks that reflect British culture. The centerpiece of the pavilion is a replica of the impressive clock tower from the Palace of Westminster, commonly known as Big Ben, which stands tall and majestic, instantly captivating your attention.
Be sure to catch a photo with yourself in front of one of the iconic red phone booths! And… make a phone call! Yes, they are real! Sure they’re outdated and never seen in the UK anymore, but it is fun!
