In a world on 300 or 400 million humans, each wealthy enough to live anywhere, practically nobody wants to live in constant bad weather. The Mediterrainian, the caribean, inland Italy, Sri Lanka, California - those are the places with population. England will be deserted for its too depressing qualities.
Maybe there will be a Californian charity trying to upkeep London as a tourist attraction. But 99% of the UK will be deserted.

"British sunset", Bo Lessing, 2271
1 "British sunset"
2This might well be the most depressing sunset over reflecting water in art history - and an subtle innuendo to Britains greatest painter William Turner.
3 "99% of England has been deserted. People moved to places with better weather." --- The remaining one percent can't count on the understanding of the artist, it seems.
4 "Britisch Landscape" --- Lessing uses intenional typos to irritate the viewer, make him/her feel superior and keep them to look at the work longer.
5 "Vista point" --- In another version of the painting the text is visible. Lessing tells us that even the best vista point for the most impressive panoramic view from a dramatic cliff doesn't help much if the weather is constantly bad and thus generating boring colors on top of the uncomfortable body feel. He doesn't seem to like England particularly much, it seems from the painting, but in several interviews he has denied that.
6 "Cliff looking like a person" --- it says on another version of the work.
7Due to desertion the British infrastructure deteriorates and sinks into the grey sea. The UK will soon become uninhabitable, destination only for decadent adventurers and their robotic explorer teams.
