I think if you looked at this picture of Utrecht and compared it to this picture of Pimlico in London, there’s a reasonable chance you’d agree they share something in common
This estate in Arnhem could be anywhere in Britain
The entire Netherlands could be described as a flatter East Anglia with worse food and taller inhabitants.
I felt very at-home in Wellington in New Zealand. Culturally, a very good fit with UKites. Weather, different but on a similar level. Architecture, no, not remotely similar.
Christchurch, New Zealand, a lot of NZ looks similar to the UK in all aspects.
Parts of Shanghai, The Bund specifically.
Some parts of Hong Kong looks strikingly British, this is in part due to the roads, signage and traffic lights being the same as the UK. This is particular true in the greener parts of Hong Kong.
do you never watch the news
or any of them cool travel shows on the HD channel
?
Argentina, the Caribbean, India
anywhere the Queen used to be on their stamps really
Auckland has lots of similar era architecture to Manchester. There’s also a mix of the modern skyscrapers and older buildings. Geography is quite different though. Oamaru has lots of Victorian and Edwardian buildings. Dunedin is modelled on Edinburgh.Â

This is one of my favourite places that looks very much like a British city but isn’t. 10 points if you can guess where it is
>!Shanghai!<
A lot of places in northern France and Wallonia. Especially the countryside and suburbs. Belgian post-war housing estates look a lot like ours.
In terms of cities, Lille and Liege. Although parts of Lille had that distinct Gallic vibe.
Irish ones? 😂
Benidorm. It practically is a British city.
Mogadishu is almost indistinguishable from Slough.

Sydney is similar to London in many places.

Birmingham – a former British city.

Douglas, IOM. Which weirdly wasn’t a city until the Queen’s Platinum Jubilee despite being the capital.
(Though this is only considering if by British you mean UK and not the British Isles)
