Definition

England is a country that is part of the United Kingdom. It is in Europe, and London is its capital city.

Usage & Nuances

Do not confuse 'England' with 'the UK' or 'Britain'—they are related but not identical. 'England' refers only to one country within the UK. It is normally used as a proper noun, so it is capitalized and used without an article: 'in England', not 'in the England'.
