United Kingdom Pavilion
The United Kingdom pavilion at Epcot is presented as a charming little English village. The village however has a hodgepodge mix of architectural styles ranging from Georgian brick townhouses to English Victorian to thatched roofed cottages. The look and feel ranges from the rural countryside to the busy streets of London square. The smell of fish and chips that linger in the air instantly makes park guests feel as if they are walking the streets of England. If you need a rest break while in this section of the park, find a seat out in the garden behind Tudor Street. It is shaded and not usually crowded.
The United Kingdom pavilion does not have a main attraction but there are plenty of entertainment opportunities to keeps you busy for hours. The British Invasion - is a group of performers that look and sound remarkably like the Beatles. Their 20 minute shows can be seen and heard in the garden behind the Tea Caddy shop several times each day. Take a minute to rest and enjoy the tunes. Or, do like my husband and embarrass the kids by dancing in the street!
The World Showcase Players - is a group of comedians that perform skits in the streets of the United Kingdom. The audience participation makes the performances rather funny but I would suggest that you stand in the back if you do not want to be chosen to take part in the show. . Rose and Crown Pub - This restaurant has several entertainers including a magician, a story teller and a pianist.
The Rose and Crown Dining Room - has both indoor and outdoor seating available. Menu items include pub favorites such as bangers and mash, cottage pie and beef stew. If you will be dining in the evening around the time for illuminations, ask for a seat outside so that you will have a good view of the show. Rose and Crown Pub - Serves beer, mixed drinks and light appetizers and sandwiches. Yorkshire County Fish Shop - This outdoor counter service cafe` serves fish and chips that can be washed down with a pint of ale. Joffrey's Coffee - this snack stand is located between Canada and the United Kingdom. It is a good place to grab a coffee and pastry. They also sell fruit smoothies and tea. 
The fish and chips are always good in the UK.

Sportsman Shoppe - As the name suggests, this shop sell sports related items and clothing. You can find tennis outfits from Wimbledon and golf and rugby shirts too. 
The Tea Caddy - This quaint little shop sells a wide variety of teas, both loose and bagged. You can also find fine china teapots, tea cups and other tea related accessories.

They carry a large selection of Winnie the Pooh plush characters and other toys. Paddington Bear can be found in this shop too.
