Layout

The United Kingdom Pavilion, designed to look like a stereotypical British village, has English gardens including a hedge maze.

The shops sell British items, such as tea, toys, clothing, and Beatles merchandise.

A band called the British Revolution perform British rock music covers from acts such as the Police, the Rolling Stones, the Beatles, Blur, and Led Zeppelin.

A comedic group, known as the World Showcase Players, used to perform humorous and interactive versions of "King Arthur and the Holy Grail" and "Romeo and Juliet" (renamed "Romeo and Edna").

Attraction

  • Kim Possible World Showcase Adventure (January 28, 2009 - June 23, 2012)
  • Agent P's World Showcase Adventure (June 23, 2012- present)
  • Dining

  • Rose & Crown Pub & Dining Room
  • A full-service restaurant that serves British cuisine in both an indoor and outdoor setting. The indoor section resembles a pub, while the outdoor seating is located on a patio overlooking the lagoon. Lunch and dinner are served daily. Dishes as of 2008-09 included potato and leek soup, bangers and mash, and fish and chips.

    A key attraction to the Rose and Crown is the selection of ales and stouts including Boddingtons, Bass, Harp, and Guinness (from the Republic of Ireland), as well as Stella Artois (despite being Belgian, it is one of the UK's most popular lagers). Also extremely popular is the selection of quality Scotch and Irish whiskeys served in the bar and restaurant.

  • Yorkshire County Fish Shop
  • A quick-service fish and chip counter restaurant serving only fish, chips (fried potatoes), and shortbread. Drinks, including Bass Ale and Harp Lager, are available. Seating is outdoors only.

    (Yorkshire is very rarely referred to as "Yorkshire County" in the UK, despite being a county; because shire and county are synonymous.)
