Southern England also has palms, so I guess that got thrown in a well. London? No.
Okanagan, I can see because at times of the year, it does feel very Mediterranean, or at least what most think of as Mediterranean.
Here is a picture of a palm in London if you want one, also a park in the Isles of Scilly Cornwall, this is a very palmy place, if Vancouver 'feels' very Mediterranean then Southern England must do too no? The temperature, sunshine hours, rain are similar? The reality is 7 degree winter highs do not 'feel' very Mediterranean.

Those palms thrive in very unmediterranean places such as Scotland or Germany. London has palms too, and more tender ones than Vancouver at that, as it's warmer: https://goo.gl/maps/YQj3Q6tTJEu
It doesn't stop it from being considerably cloudier and more unsettled than Vancouver in summer though, hence not mediterranean.

The sunshine hours are practically identical, see the link. both places grow palms, have vineyards, the Southern coasts of the UK are dryer but similar for rainfall, the temperatures are almost identical, its all in the links I posted, so again I ask, what is the difference?
My point about sunshine hours was to counter the points about Vancouver and London being the same, when they are not.
There are many places in BC, that have more sunshine than Vancouver.
Did you see the links I posted about Southampton? Even closer to Vancouvers climate than London! Of course like BC the south of England has variations yet like BC they are ALL Oceanic.

Classification is the difference -different dynamics due to geographical proximity to summer high pressure zones.

It's a deeper understanding thing.
Well it must be, because nobody seems to be able to explain what it is (probably because you can't argue with the actual stats - see previous links)
