Is the UK shut down during easter? (feddit.dk)

If I wanted to take my family on a week-long trip to London during Easter, how much of the city would be shut down? Are the shops closed and so on?

I know Good Friday is a bank holiday, but I don't know what exactly it means beyond, I suppose, the banks being closed? 😁

Generally everything is closed from and during Good Friday to Easter Monday. There probably are special services going on at famous Cathedrals though for Maundy Thursday, Good Friday and Easter Sunday (in some places, Holy Saturday has some form of vigil going on also)
