  1. If by “nailed it” you mean “put a few very stereotypical things that are such a small part of UK culture and mainly based around what people from overseas think about London” then yes, they nailed it.

  2. Needs a chicken shop, a pair of trainers hanging from overhead wires and an abandoned mattress and then we are good.

  3. Did this open since Charles was crowned? Postbox is out of date.

  4. It feels very London in the 1940s if not for the Luftwaffe.

  5. Needs a Spar, a Games Workshop and a Cash Converters.

  6. Uk next to Stone Age?

    Sounds about right concerning trains…

  7. I mean, sure. Why not. Red phone boxes, black cabs, fish and chips.

    If we opened up a theme park based on Italy it would be pizza chefs with big moustaches and all the staff would have to make that one hand pinching gesture at everyone.

  8. Not nearly enough traffic. Pedestrian and motor.

    Edit- bet it’s got that lovely Italian fresh air too *pah*

  9. There’s a family of tourists wearing rain ponchos. That’s pretty accurate.

  10. Flag is wrong way up above phone box, no urine leaking out of bottom of phone box.

  11. It feels very early-mid 20th century.

    In that regard, they’ve nailed the look, although it would be before Queen Elizabeth II’s coronation, which means the post boxes are incorrect.

  12. Well sir, there’s nothing on Earth like a genuine, bona-fide, electrified, six-car monorail!

  13. The numberplate on the front of that taxi should be white. Yellow is for the rear.

  14. Jokes aside, people decrying this as stereotypical. Of course it is. That’s the point. They are hardly going to go to great lengths to construct the true dystopian shithole most of UK is today, for a theme park.

  15. Yeah, not bad. Anything like this is going to be a stylized and romanticized version of reality, on those grounds I think they did a good job.

  16. Not a single empty drug baggie or a bag of fossilized dog poo hanging from a tree.

  17. Do they steal your phone and stab you or is that extra?

  18. I’m sorry to break it to you, but while every British town does have a tiny, two-carriage monorail just above head-height; they’ve forgotten to add the queen’s face to the front of every one like Thomas the tank engine.

  19. What time does the Merry Poppuns slide down the zip line?

  20. Looks like that British neighbourhood from Arrested Development. Wee Britain

  21. There are some good ideas for London here

    Fish and chip bus

    TfL monorail

    Good weather
