There a few exceptions here and there, but the UK uses the metric system wherever it can, including speed limits in some locations.

Where does it use it for speed limits? All our cars have speedometers in mph. I’ve never seen a speed limit sign that uses kmph

I've seen an 8kph limit on inland waterways. But it was very unusual to see
