Well, 90% of the population live in towns. There are lots of different kinds of houses. This is the kind of house you find in British towns. Terraced houses are joined together - sometimes in a long row, but some terraces have only got a few houses.
Houses in different parts of Britain can look very different. There are lots of regional variations because builders use local materials. There are also differences in age. Some houses are very modern and some are hundreds of years old.
These are traditional thatched cottages, Thatch is made from reeds and is used for the roof. Cottage is the name for a small house in the country.
A famous traditional saying is "An Enlishman's home is his castle'. British people spend a lot of time and money on their homes and gardens.
