===Unbuilt Attractions===
Although the pavilion was not home to an attraction, the original plans for the United Kingdom called for an attraction to eventually be constructed. The July 1975 edition of Eyes and Ears noted that there was room for expansion behind the pavilion, describing a corresponding piece of concept art:

{{Quotation| In this artist's rendering of Great Britain's pavilion, guests would board London double-decker busses which would be departing Piccadilly Circus every few minutes along cobblestone streets ... bound for castles, cottages and other great traditions of England <ref name="Widen"> http://www.omniluxe.net/wyw/uk.htm. </ref>}}
Although nothing would come of these earlier plans, in the late 1980s/early 1990s, Imagineers created designs for a new area in the United Kingdom called The Enchanted Forest. This area would have housed topiaries of scenes from Mary Poppins, Robin Hood, <ref name= "UKMARY"> http://www.omniluxe.net/wyw/ukef02conceptsA-M.jpg </ref> Alice in Wonderland and Winnie the Pooh <ref name= "UKALICE"/>. While inside The Enchanted Forest guests would also have meet and greet opportunities. Although not an attraction per say, The Enchanted Forest would also have included the "Door-Knob Tunnel" <ref name= "UKALICE"> http://www.omniluxe.net/wyw/ukef03conceptsN-AA.jpg </ref>, "Cheshire Cat Maze" <ref name= "UKALICE"/>, and "Prince John's Castle Interactive Play Area". Finally, the area would have also housed facades of the English Parliament and Big Ben. The end of the area would be Mousterpiece Theatre, where entertainment would be found <ref name= "UKALICE"/>.
On August 25, 2019, Disney announced that the United Kingdom pavilion would be receiving a new Mary Poppins themed expansion <ref name="magic"> https://www.wdwmagic.com/attractions/united-kingdom/news/25aug2019-disney-confirms-mary-poppins-neighborhood-and-attraction-coming-to-epcots-world-showcase.htm </ref>. As part of this new area, guests will travel down Cherry Tree Lane, where they will enter the home of the Banks family and the attraction will begin "ref name="magic"/>.

In order to show guests as much of the United Kingdom as possible, Imagineers made sure that each structure in the United Kingdom pavilion represented a different era. The center of the pavilion is known as Britannia Square. Modeled after the different town squares found in the UK, Britannia Square is where guests can find various shops and dining establishments, including the [[Rose & Crown]]. The Rose & Crown serves as both a restaurant and a pub, where guests can get a traditional British meal.
