if searching on google .com from the USA and you want to see the results that a person in the UK would see by also search Google .com what parameters could be added to tell Google you want to see the results that someone the UK would see?

From what I remember, if you use the location-specific ccTLD domain you'll get results from that region.

So in this case, make sure you are signed out of Google and search from google.co.uk

E:

A quick test of "local dog places" gives me places in the U.K, so it appears my memory serves me well.

In the settings you change the current language or you can try with Tor or a VPN.
