Napoleon would never be capable of launching an invasion of Great Britain.
ANSWER The British Fleet achieved the absolute dominion of the seas thus preventing Great Britain from being invaded in future and guaranteeing its freedom of trade and intervention on the European Continent and throughout the world. After Trafalgar the British had to deal on the sea only with privateers warfare and a very scarce opposition by the regular navies of their enemies.
Napoleon Focused on Land Based Attacks
After the Battle of Trafalgar, which took place in October of 1805, it is what did not happen that may be most significant. With the loss of his battle-fleet to the British off the Cape of Trafalgar, Napoleon did not (and could not) engage in any invasion of Great Britain, since British ships still controlled the seas. However that may be, the victory cemented the reputation of the British navy as foremost among modern nations and contributed to Great Britain's ongoing resistance to the aggressions of Napoleonic France.

Napoleon's attack at the Battle of Waterloo on June 18, 1815, resulted in a decisive defeat for his forces against the combined armies of the Duke of Wellington and Prussian General Gebhard Leberecht von Blücher. This loss marked the end of the Napoleonic Wars and led to Napoleon's abdication and subsequent exile to the island of Saint Helena. The defeat at Waterloo solidified the coalition's victory over Napoleon and restored the balance of power in Europe.
