 What is british culture?
1. What comes to mind when you think of British culture? Most likely it is a series of
traditional stereotypes. On the one hand, you might imagine James Bond ordering a
sophisticated Martini, or the most stylish celebrities attending Wimbledon.
2. The UK is a multinational and multi-ethnic land, full of diversity and contrasts. But even
so, you will hardly find a Brit who does not love a good cup of tea with a delicious
chocolate chip cookie.
3. Its culture stands out for its opulence and sophistication, its origins are ancient with the
founding of England in the 10th century, which is its oldest nation. Unlike other cultures,
the UK has not expanded or combined with the culture of other countries, it has remained
true to its roots and essence.
