According to the British Geological Survey (BGS) the UK experiences several hundred earthquakes each year, however the vast majority of these are so small they are only detected by sensitive instruments known as seismometers.
There are normally between 20 and 30 each year that are large enough to be felt by humans, but these typically don't cause much damage except for very rare occasions.
For more information on UK earthquakes including some that have been powerful enough to cause damage to buildings, please see the related link.
