You realize that's because it's got the most Scottish settlers / names / language. I am hoping you knew this. Really.

I’m pretty sure this was a joke.

There were a few British actors on The Wire.

Depends on the city. Charleston feels very English to me (I know you said British, but...)

Virginia countryside outside dc is by far the closest thing you get to UK countryside anywhere in the U.S. and, it’s not that close…

I'm from London and found Boston the most UK like of all the US states. No where in the South at all, ever, no no no.

New York has more imported goods than anywhere else because they are the biggest port, so that may have been a factor as well.

Of US cities, Philadelphia looks like an English city. They were building rowhouses until around 1960 or so. However culturally Philadelphia doesn't feel British at all.

It actually looks more British than Boston, since rowhouses quickly give way to the uniquely New England triple decker style housing.

What part of England and what parts exactly are you talking about? Because England is more than one thing and so are the US places you mention.

Landscape?
Architecture?
Social mores?
Public transportation?
Healthcare?
Arts?
Agriculture?
