English society
London's upper crust
English society refers to the social structure, customs, and class distinctions of England, particularly its historically rigid hierarchy of aristocracy, gentry, and commoners.
The term often evokes traditional institutions, manners, and expectations: She found English society stifling.
It may describe elite social circles—the world of titles, country houses, and social seasons—or more broadly, the collective norms governing English life.
