United Kingdom Pavilion at Epcot

1

United Kingdom is a cultural pavilion representing the four countries within the island country of the same name (England, Scotland, Wales and Northern Ireland) as part of the World Showcase area of EPCOT at the Walt Disney World Resort near Orlando, Florida. It is located between the France and Canada pavilions along the World Showcase Lagoon.

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. 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. 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. At the 2019 D23 Expo, an expansion to the Pavilion based on the Disney Mary Poppins films was announced with a new neighborhood based on Cherry Tree Lane, serving as the façade for a Mary Poppins attraction. But the project was postponed indefinitely due to the COVID-19 pandemic. 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.
