Are there areas of the UK that look like this?

You will be hard pressed to find a residential area such as the ones you have shown above, in the United Kingdom. We don't have anywhere near the same density of trees as you have.

Our country isn't renowned for being heavily forested and the areas that are heavily forested are sparsely populated. If those areas where to become more populated, the trees would be cut down anyway.

You might want to re-look at the street views that B87 posted from London.

That reminds me of somewhere like Weybridge or Virginia Water.

Surrey is the most heavily forested county in the UK, and at the same time is also the most densely populated non-metropolitan county. It's probably the most 'American' part of the UK.

I hate both snow and palm trees.

Am I the only one? Lol.

United Kingdom is 11% forested (7% England), United States is 34% forested. My point last night still remains true.

Yeah I live near Weybridge, looks like those pics around here. Plenty of trees and pines like the pics you posted Tom, could easily be a road near me

Well look at the photos I posted on the previous page, all countryside from Surrey (and lots of SE England looks that way).

That was the point I tried to make to him obviously to no avail.
