Not in human historic times. The geology of the British islands is such that the existing volcanic features have been extinct for millions of years. There are no known crustal magma chambers that could initiate an eruption, unlike those of the Mid-Atlantic Ridge under Iceland.
In the broader sense, the overseas territory of the South Georgia Islands has active volcanoes.

How is a volcano measured?
The Volcanic Explosivity Index (VEI) is a measure of the explosiveness of volcanic eruptions. It was devised by Chris Newhall of the United States Geological Survey and Stephen Self at the University of Hawaii in 1982. The index is based on a scale of 1 to 8, 1 being very small, and 8 being huge and very rare.
Is the UK in danger from a volcano?
Yes there is volcanic activity under the City of Bath which heats the hot water springs. The nearest lava producing volcano is near the Mid Atlantic about 1000 miles from the UK coast. The nearest dormant volcano is in Germany, the Siebengebirge which is about 400 miles from UK. There are several long extinct volcanos in the UK, notably King Arthurs Seat in Edinburgh.

Why did the volcanic eruption in Iceland stopped flights over in the UK?
Plane engines are like any machine. If you get enough dust in it (or in this case, ash), then they is a high possibility that they may stop working. Whenever there is an eruption, air activity is ceased until it is deemed safe to resume. Even though the volcano was not in the UK, the ash and soot from the volcano, depending on weather conditions, could have easily traveled that far. It is better to be safe and cancel flights than to try and risk it and have engines fail while in the air.
