Things Named After The Current Queen
I do not know much about the present Queen. I know she was born in Mayfair because I have seen the building. I was wondering how many things in England have been named after that woman, and I was surprised at how many it was. Is it general obsequiousness that causes this? They do the same thing in North Korea.

In any case, she's been monarch for well over 60 years, and a lot of stuff has been built in thst time. And, is the new HMS Queen Elizabeth aircraft carrier not on the list? |

England: Queen Elizabeth Hospital, King's Lynn No that one's named after her mother However the Queen's building at the University of East Anglia is named after Elizabeth II, she opened it in the 90s (before 96 as that's when I started there) James |
