No. A number of very distinguished barristers and solicitors are not English, including Sir Sidney Kentridge QC. A significant percentage of solicitors employed by magic circle firms are not English (large numbers of Australians, South Africans and New Zealanders, amongst others).
Interestingly, a number of distinguished English judges are not in fact English, including Lord Hoffman and Lord Steyn (who both sat together in the country's highest court).
However, if you are not an EU citizen, you may face legal restrictions to be able work as a barrister or solicitor in the UK. However there is no restriction on your right to be admitted.
