20 kph is about 12½ mph.

But doesn't Britain use the metric system now?

“But doesn’t Britain use the metric system now?”

The UK is hybrid — Distances are usually in miles/mph; yards, feet, inches. Liquid measurements are pints for beer/ale and cider, but milliliters (ml) from wine, spirits, tonic, soda, etc. Gasoline is in imperial gallons. Most other weights and measures are metric although I have also seen pounds and ounces.
