Why United Kingdomdoesn’t count

United Kingdom is outside the Schengen Area. While you're physically in United Kingdom, the 180-day rolling window keeps moving — old Schengen days fall out of the window even though you've left. Many nomads use United Kingdom as a 'reset' destination when they're close to the 90-day limit.
