25 “Great London Memes” That Reflect British Humour At Its Best

After watching Downton Abbey, I developed a deeper appreciation for the famous British sense of humour.

The English often joke with nothing more than a slight widening of the eyes or pursed lips, showcasing their discreet yet sharp wit. We’ve curated some standout posts from the “Great London Meme” Instagram page dedicated to British humour and shared them in the gallery below.
