I forget the exact figures now, but I found them when writing the
climate FAQ. A hell of a lot of the sunlight in the UK is indirect,
and so shadowing isn't as important a factor as it is elsewhere.
That's in relative terms - in absolute terms, it excludes a lot
of vegetables (like ripening squashes, chillis etc.)

Broad beans, carrots and (mostly) potatoes won't mind much; you
may get a slight smaller crop. Nor will most of the other plants
that do well in cool, dark summers.

My garden is comparable, for different reasons.
