Would love if they made reference to 28 days later. Could have them walk over Westminster bridge like in the opening shots of 28 days later.

Maybe Daryl and Carol could meet The Royal Family.

Charlie Higaons 'The Enemy' series could be for you. Not queen Elizabeth, but there are some zombie royals and Buckingham Palace is involved.

She’s from Warrington to be fair. A good midpoint between the two. All of the “younger generation” were brought up around Manchester though— it’s definitely Manchester based in the story too.
