This was in the 1960's, so I suspect less variety than now. In any event, in a couple visits I made to Britain, I don't recall seeing a Thai or Italian restaurant. And my one Indian restaurant experience was less than good.
The first time I ever recall eating in a restaurant was in Britain in the 50s. It was Chinese - allegedly, but there was also an Italian of sorts which I never frequented. This was in small town Scotland. There were very few Thai restaurants the last time I lived in London. That was in the early 90s. Now they are everywhere.
