Looking through some pictures on my computer I found this one taken by dh. He takes pictures of CARS. This car seems to have some sort of English theme and when I looked up close, there is a sign on it that says London. But aside from the car, this town about 40 miles north of Boston, Mass could almost be in England. The brick buildings and they've left a little bit of the cobblestone street. But I do agree that no US city looks much like any English city.
I can definitely see that. This could easily be a town in the UK.

or Kings Chapel (oldest Anglican Church in Boston-opened 1754)
or the Old Massachusetts Statehouse (1713)
Note the ornamental pair of seven-foot tall wooden figures depicting a lion with crown and unicorn, symbols of the British monarchy.
Beacon Hill, Boston, for sure. (Home to the very very rich.) Those were great pictures, BTW.
Boston has its own feeling, hustle and bustle, area of prestigious hospitals and home to high tech, and of course, the attractive old buildings are dwarfed and made to look almost silly, by the ugly skyscrapers. It is not surrounded by green countryside either. So it doesn't really feel British to me. Parts of it do LOOK British though.
I wonder if Cambridge, on the other side of the river, looks more British.
