Both systems are in use in England (and indeed in Great Britain as a whole). In the past originally only the armed forces used the 24 hour system but now the whole population is aware of it. Some people use the 24 hour clock system and some just use the am/pm system, most people however are adept at using both systems.

Why doesn't England have the 24 hour clock?

England does use the 24-hour clock, particularly in contexts like transportation timetables, military, and some formal settings. However, the 12-hour clock system is more commonly used in everyday life for casual conversation and social contexts. This preference is largely a cultural tradition, influenced by historical practices and the convenience of the 12-hour format in daily communication. Ultimately, the choice between the two systems reflects societal norms rather than a lack of capability or understanding of the 24-hour system.
