Britain has been an island, or group of islands for many centuries. Once joined by land to continental Europe, but this was in pre history.

At the end of the last glaciation people could walk from Europe to Britain, but as sea level rose because of the melting ice, the southern North Sea flooded and broke through the narrow piece of land joining Britain to the mainland of Europe near what is now Dover.
