I was putting some pictures into my album to save and it made me think............what is it that we think of when we think of England. I am sure its different for everyone but for me I can show in a few pictures. Not the deep down attachments that I personally have, but the icons that are uniquely English that everyone knows so well.
Most of these are not my own pictures and are taken from the web. I am hoping no copyright it violated. As always just let me know and I will credit your picture or remove. No infringement is intentional.
First the iconic Phone box.....this one with Big Ben and focused in London

Then the red buses.........we all knew our number, mine was #6

The beautiful Horse Guards

.....and the Household Cavalry

London would not, could not be London without them. The red post box on a stone wall what could be more English?

How about the patchwork fields?

The Village church in English countryside.

I think that the small English villages are unique and what people want to go and see.........and have a wonderful cream tea or ploughmans lunch at a local Pub. What could be more English than that............the Pub.

I could go on, the Beatles, The Tower, Tower Bridge, ST George the Royal Family........so many things scream out England but......I could only choose a few. I love my country and will forever be English.

I have never been to England but my eldest daughter married into a British family who live in the States.
I have tea parties often and it is funny b/c the ONE lady from England who comes (my daughter's MIL) prefers that I make her coffee. Haha, makes me laugh every time.
Such beautiful photos! I would love to visit England....if only I would get on a plane!
