The United Kingdom Pavilion is a British-themed pavilion that is part of the World Showcase within Epcot at Walt Disney World near Bay Lake, Florida. The pavilion represents the four countries of the United Kingdom: England, Scotland, Wales and Northern Ireland. It is located between the France and Canada pavilions.
The buildings in the United Kingdom Pavilion represent the architectural history of the United Kingdom, ranging from a building inspired by Hampton Court Palace to another inspired by Anne Hathaway's Cottage.[1] There are also Tudor, Georgian and Victorian styles present. There are English Gardens which include a hedge maze and a band stand.
The shops sell British items such as tea, biscuits, toys, clothing, sports apparel and Beatles merchandise.
Gilbert-Scott telephone boxes line a rose garden near the pavilion's restrooms and there is often a direct connection on these phones to a similar box in the Canada pavilion nearby.[2]
A band called the British Revolution performs 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 interactive versions of "King Arthur and the Holy Grail" and "Romeo and Juliet" (renamed "Romeo and Edna").
At the 2019 D23 Expo, an expansion to the Pavilion based on Mary Poppins films and books was announced with a new neighborhood based on Cherry Tree Lane, serving as the façade for a Mary Poppins ride. In 2023 the concept art and plans for the attraction were leaked on a former Imagineer's portfolio indicating the attraction would be an indoor teacups experience taking design cues from Mary Poppins Returns.[3]
