Epcot's United Kingdom Pavilion ~

Read Time:3 Minute, 0 Second

Located between the France and Canada Pavilions is Epcot’s United Kingdom Pavilion. Designed to look like a typical British village with buildings based on several different periods of Brith architecture, you’ll find many shops and 2 dining options as well as a live band that periodically plays your favorite British hits.

Through a seamless blend of architecture, you’ll travel from the streets of London to an English cottage. The regal Hampton Court Palace is represented, as well as buildings reflecting the Tudor, Georgian, and Victorian influences that the United Kingdom is noted for. One of the most interesting replicas is that of the building which is patterned after Anne Hathaway’s childhood home. Anne Hathaway was the wife of William Shakespeare and her family home is considered the quintessential English cottage.

In the back of Epcot’s United Kingdom Pavilion is a lovely English garden, topiaries, and Tigger’s Maze. A large gazebo is the showpiece of this section where you will find the live band playing.

You’ll be mesmerized by the attention to detail in this Pavilion with its soot-stained chimneys, a wonderful gazebo, beautiful gardens and replicas of UK phone booths. Make sure to stop for a picture!
