This educational infographic illustrates the structural labeling of floors in a typical house, contrasting UK and US terminology. In British English, the level at street level is called the “ground floor,” with the next level up as the “first floor”; in American English, the street-level floor is the “first floor,” and the one above is the “second floor.” Both systems label the attic space as “roof” and the subterranean level as “basement.”
