Bro you have to come to Liverpool and Manchester (2 biggest cities in the north west) and very different to London and rich in history and culture (and better football teams 😜)
British culture for me is the culture of the 4 home nations, monarchy, parliamentary democracy, the Magna Carta, the rule of law, sporting traditions like cricket, football and rugby. Pop music, the media. Then we have the infusion on British culture that comes various cultures from the commonwealth. Primarily Windrush Caribbean culture which has proudly influenced contemporary oral language, music like drum and bass, jungle, lover rock, grime. Humour. Herb. Then is influence of south Asian culture from India, east Africa , Pakistan and the Bengal. More recent influence on the UK had come front Australia and West and East Africa. America is music definitely way better overall . 🔥🔥🔥
