Very cool. This is a U.S. perspective, but I'd include the fact that it has a heater and wash capacity if available.

East Anglia. A majority (or at least a plurality) of the pilgrims who made it to the new world (i.e. not those who stayed in the Netherlands or stayed behind when the Speedwell started to leak) were from East Anglia. There is/was an exhibit in the Plimoth/Plymouth Museum that allowed you to listen to reconstructions of the settler's dialects. The East Anglian sample was by far the one that sounded closest to what's spoken today south of Boston.

When I was an English and ESL (really EFL - but that distinction is rare here) teacher, one of my students' favorite stories was one of a ghost-guarded treasure buried by the last king of East Anglia ... can't remember the name, though.
