/* Pavilion History */
The United Kingdom pavilion opened with the rest of World Showcase on October 1, 1982. When the pavilion opened, it featured one restaurant (the Rose & Crown Pub) and six shops: The Tea Caddy, the Queen's Table, the Biscuit Barrel, His Lordship, Pringle of Scotland and The Toy Solider.
Although the pavilion was not home to an attraction, the original plans for the United Kingdom called for a Victorian building to be built in the pavilions rear<ref name= "Progress"> http://progresscityusa.com/2009/04/02/neverworlds-epcots-united-kingdom-pavilion-victorian-music-hall/ </ref>. The building (which was going to be modeled after London’s lost Crystal Palace) would have housed a live comedy show<ref name= "progress"/>. A description of the unbuilt attraction was given in the 1982 book “Walt Disney’s EPCOT: Creating the New World of Tomorrow”:
{{Quotation|"One side of the square remains open, the future site of a show still being created by the Imagineers. Early in the planning there was talk of a tour presentation, to be housed in an old English railroad station. The idea metamorphosed into an Elizabethan-type dinner theater, from which it evolved into a Victorian music hall. That’s where it now stands – if a genius can be found to successfully bowdlerize the rough-and-tumble British vaudeville style for a family audience."|Walt Disney’s EPCOT: Creating the New World of Tomorrow}}
