The Toad Hall Restaurant plays a background loop of "British" based tunes (Includes music from the British Isles - England, Scotland, Wales and Ireland ) similar to the Epcot England area and, indeed, some tracks are from there.
The loop also plays in Fanatasyland station and the paths to it (also in the rest rooms outside and to the rear of the restaurant).
The restaurant specializes in Fish 'n' Chips although other fare is provided.
When first opened, Toad Hall served only "British" food (not a burger in sight) and provided beef sandwiches, trifles and Earl Grey tea. After the near collapse of the park in the early years, this was discontinued to include the usual park fare.
The Fish 'n' Chips are, however, still excellent but the fish batter is decidedly French and not British.
All named tunes are confirmed as correct, as is the order of play from a list provided by DLRP to @wedroy1923. All tracks have also been compared to a live recording dated September 2009 and an induction recording made in August 2011.
The track names shown in the official listing are shown in {} after the identified tracks as many of the individual tune titles are not shown on it (just "medley" etc).
We've identified them all so instead of "medley", you get the actual names of the tracks included in them.
For extra clarity, there is a copy of the official playlist at the end of this section so you can compare.
This is possibly one of the more difficult loops to list due to the variety of source tracks and the vagueness of the official track listing and the use of material from other parks.
Both @wedroy1923 and @needmagic have spent considerable time and effort (far more than me) on this listing and their help is greatly appreciated.
We have gone into considerable detail with this listing as it contains so many tracks from Epcot and other sources and because the "medley" titles do not really give anyone a chance of acquiring the source recordings needed to reconstruct the loop.
Hopefully the individual titles named in the medleys may help.
We have not been able to source the Epcot tracks and the interior loop no longer plays. The only information available is that they were recorded at the EMI studios in London and split by Disney for the loop.
Time 61:31

The Knightsbridge march really deserves a track listing on it's own (but they don't, so it doesn't get it)
Trivia: Used in the UK for 27 years as the theme tune for "In Town Tonight" and so associated with central London that it's been included by Disney in the medley.

With cat-like tread, upon our prey we steal
When foeman bares his steel
When a felon's not engaged in his employment (aka A policeman's lot is not a happy one)
