Exploring World Showcase at Epcot: Part 2 England

The next stop in our tour of World Showcase is England.

England has no rides or attractions unless you include the Rose and Crown Pub as an attraction which I do.    

We had dinner reservations in Italy so we didn't get a chance to eat here on this visit, but stopped at the outside beer stand to grab a nice cold Stella before touring the country.


The Rose and Crown serves typical English food like Bangers and Mash and Fish and Chips and the inside section has a cool pub vibe.  It also has outdoor seating that looks out on the lake and the other countries.  


 One of the best things about World Showcase and England  in particular is the cast members.  Strike up a conversation with a cast member and dive further in the feel of that country--because they are actually from England.   The English accent is by far my favorite and is a one of the little details that makes the countries so cool to visit.  Ordering a beer from a couple of cute English girls makes the beer taste even better. 
 

The England section has many British shops located in the stylish old English village buildings.



The stores carry everything cool from the BBC.   Monty Python, Beatles, Rolling Stones shirts and Dr. Who gear.


Sherlock Holmes



Because it was the Flower and Garden Festival England was featuring topiaries Captain Hook, Peter Pan and that infamous Croc.





If a Pint of Beer isn't your thing....The Queen's Table sells Twinings tea and British treats.


Have a spot of tea and wander through a British garden and then stop for a photo op with characters like  Winnie the Pooh, Alice in Wonderland the always delightful Mary Poppins

England also featuring a British Rock Band that plays classic rock tunes and has a quick service restaurant called the Yorkshire County Fish Company that basically serves Fish and Chips.
