Showcasing the World: United Kingdom

Disney Parks Blog
The United Kingdom Pavilion is designed to look like a classic British village, including English gardens and a hedge maze.  The cobble-stoned streets blend in eloquently with the Tudor, Georgian, and Victorian-influenced buildings.  No detail is missed in this British hamlet; simply look up to the soot-stained chimneys.

Characters

There are several characters guest can meet in the United Kingdom Pavilion.  The practically perfect in every way nanny Mary Poppins meets guests in front of the garden.  Occasionally, the friendly chimney sweep Bert will join her.
