Do you have a passion for all things British? Then these British true or false quiz questions will be perfect for you.

The UK is famous for a lot of things: tea, the monarchy, and dry humour, to name a few.

But there is so much more than that. After all, the UK is made of 4 nations (England, Wales, Scotland and Northern Ireland) and each one of them has its unique culture.

This has shaped the country into what it is today and made it one of the most interesting places in the world.

In this quiz, we will mention all sorts of things about Britain. This means that you will find a bit of British geography (do you know what the highest peak in Britain is?), but also some history (how much do you know about Churchill?), a bit of sport and of course, some fun stuff about British TV and food.

If you loved Very British Problems, you will be in for a treat with this!

Also, it’s a great way to test your knowledge and see how much you really know about Britain.

Now let’s talk about how to play.

You will find below a list of ‘facts’. These ‘facts’ can be true or false (hence why I use ”). You simply need to say whether you think they are true or not.

Each correct answer will score you one point.

If you want to make it a bit more challenging, you can also try to correct the false facts and say what it actually should be. If you get it right, you can award yourself a bonus point.

For example, ‘Edinburgh is the capital of England’. That would be false, Edinburgh is the capital of Scotland and not England.

So, are you ready to get started and discover all our British true or false questions?
