The United Kingdom Pavilion is a British-themed pavilion that is part of the World Showcase, within Epcot at Walt Disney World near Orlando, Florida, United States. The pavilion represents the four countries of the United Kingdom; England, Scotland, Wales and Northern Ireland. Its location is between the France and Canada pavilions.
Layout
The United Kingdom Pavilion, designed to look like a stereotypical British village, has English gardens including a hedge maze and a band stand.
The shops sell British items such as tea, biscuits toys, clothing, sports apparel and Beatles merchandise.
A set of iconic Gilbert-Scott telephone boxes line a rose garden near the pavilion's restrooms, and often there is a direct connection on these phones to a similar box in the Canada pavilion nearby.[1]
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")[when?].
