Thanksgiving in Stow-on-the-Wold, a charming town in the Cotswolds, draws many Americans seeking traditional holiday meals and a peaceful life away from the U.S. political turmoil, especially after Trump's re-election. Chef Jesse D'Ambrosi notes the increasing number of Americans scouting for homes in the area, reflecting a broader trend as applications for UK citizenship surge sharply. Notably, the American presence in the London real estate market has eclipsed that of Chinese buyers, signaling a significant cultural and demographic shift toward the UK amidst ongoing political instability in the U.S.
"I've seen a lot of Americans scoping and checking out the area, she said. Obviously it's political. Why wouldn't you want to leave where that guy is in action?"
"US applications for UK citizenship hit a record high last year at more than 6,100, a 26% increase from 2023."
"In the prime London real estate market, which covers areas such as Knightsbridge and Mayfair, the number of American buyers overtook Chinese buyers for the first time last year."
"The prospect of an idyllic life in the English countryside is also growing increasingly popular. American Hershey bars for sale in Jesse d'Ambrosi's shop in Stow-on-the-Wold."
