The sea made that division a long time ago
As we're an island, Britons tend to use "Europe" as shorthand for "mainland Europe". As we're historically cut off from mainland Europe in a way that the Netherlands isn't (i.e. you're actually a part of the mainland), there is a difference. Only modern technology makes it easier for you to get to London quicker than, say, Berlin. Unless you're planning on using a longboat
