England and the rest of the UK joined the European Union on 1 November 1993 when the Treaty on European Union (otherwise known as the Treaty of Maastricht) came into force. No country could have joined before November 1993 as the European Union did not exist till the Treaty on European Union came into force.
On 1 January 1973 the UK joined the European Economic Community (EEC). The EEC was an economic free trade mechanism between sovereign states; it now no longer exists, having been replaced by the European Union.
The EU and the EEC are two very different things. The EEC was an economic free trade mechanism between sovereign states; the EU is a political union with member states succeeding sovereignty to the European Union.

Another AnswerThe UK never joined the EU. Following a referendum, it joined the Common Market, a free-trade area. Politicians lied to the members of the public about the true nature of the Common Market.
