Hello Anon,

"Let's" is fine in BrE; e.g.

1. Let's go and see what Miss P is doing.

It's probably true that British children say "let's" more often than British adults. This may be because "Let's do X" implies a keen or enthusiastic desire to do X, on the speaker's part; and most British adults do most things only with reluctance.

Best wishes,

MrP
