Pie and mash is possibly my favorite meal and what I think of when I think of English home cooking. Making a veggie pie isn't hard, even if you don't use soya mince or other fake meats.

Bubble and squeak, or split pea soup, or leek and potato soup can be made vegan too without even breaking a sweat.

British food is my favorite. I eat it daily and never have trouble adapting it for veganism. I even enjoy vegan fry-ups on Sundays.

Oh yeah...I also make Yorkshire pudding from my grandmother's recipe using mashed tofu instead of egg (and obviously oil rather than beef drippings).

Cottage pie should veganise pretty well with something like TVP instead of minced meat and a nice herb crust on top of the potatoes.

Toad in the hole (Make batter with oat milk) with a good non meat sausage.

A nice rich stew with herby dumplings.

Stuffed marrow.

'Fish', chips and mushy peas with battered tofu fish.

For dessert, rice pudding is utterly gorgeous made with almond milk.

Rhubarb crumble or apple pie with custard.

Trifle or baked apples.

Stuffed marrow? that sounds awful! How do you veganise it?

oh lol I'm an idiot. I was thinking like bone marrow, ha! I see my error now. :p

While the traditional stuff seems covered, I'll have to echo pettybeige and suggest some Anglicized Indian dishes, perhaps mulligatawny soup?

Of course, you could also do a fry of some kind (perhaps fried tofu instead of fish?) with chips.
