My dad is friends with an English lord who let us rent his summer estate while he was hunting in Africa. Nice place, something like a thousand acres, stocked with deer and foxes, vineyard, private range, the whole nine. The food around that place was pretty good, it had a ton of those little upscale pubs and a curry place that might as well have been Hogwarts it was so hard to find. It was in a back alley between a haberdasher and three law firms (you had to go into a door in a wall between two of them and into a basement), behind some kind of royal garden. It was good, though the way London curry is hyped, I don't know if anything could really live up to the billing.
Anyway, the UK does suck. I have no plans to ever go back.
