Camelot, although it certainly took place before there was a Great Britain, as opposed to England.

Some of the Brigadoon songs. (Scotland).

Is there something from 1776?

A British Bank, from Mary Poppins (movie).


Audrey, the Phantom Phanatic, who nonetheless would rather be Jean Valjean, who knew how to make lemonade out of lemons.

"The Life I Lead" from Mary Poppins (the film, insanely cut from the stage musical).

 

It's grand to be an Englishman in nineteen-ten!

King Edward's on the throne, it's the age of men!

I am the lord of my castle! The sovereign! The liege!

I treat my subjects, servants, children, wife

With a firm but gentle hand, noblesse oblige
