UK culture

Teatime and pubs

UK culture encompasses the customs, arts, social behaviors, and shared values of the United Kingdom—its literature, music, humor, class consciousness, pub traditions, and attachment to institutions like the monarchy and the NHS.

The phrase often appears in discussions of national identity, immigration, or what distinguishes British life from other Anglophone countries: Understanding UK culture takes more than watching the BBC.
