No, Hot Spots can be in the center of plates. An example of a Hot Spot is the Hawaiian Islands.

Earthquakes are caused by tectonic plates hitting each other and it is easier for lava to flow through.
90% of volcanic activity on earth occurs at either convergent or divergent plate boundaries. The remaining 10% occurs at hot spots, which are not associated with plate boundaries.
Active volcanoes tend to occur at plate boundaries or in rare cases where there are hot spots in the mantle (such as the one responsible for the volcanism creating the Hawaiian island chain). The UK is not located near a plate boundary or a mantle hotspot! As for large earthquakes, these also tend to occur at plate boundaries and as we have stated above, the UK isn't located near one...
Hot spots are not directly associated with plate boundaries. Hot spots are areas of intense volcanic activity that are thought to be caused by mantle plumes rising from deep within the Earth's mantle, creating a hotspot of magma beneath the Earth's crust. These hotspots can occur in the middle of a tectonic plate and are responsible for creating volcanic island chains, such as the Hawaiian Islands.

it can be caused by many things, such as hot spots, convergent plate boundaries, and divergent plate boundaries
A volcano is not a type of fault. Volcanoes can be found at convergent and divergent plate boundaries and away from plate boundaries at hot spots.

Which volcanoes are located at hot spots
Geological hot spots are not typically collisional. Hot spots are areas where magma rises from deep within the Earth's mantle to the surface, creating volcanic activity. Collisional plate boundaries, on the other hand, occur when tectonic plates converge and collide, leading to mountain formation and earthquakes.
Hot spots are usually found away from plate boundaries.
They occur at plate boundaries (Pacific rim "Ring of Fire") or at mantle hot spots (Hawaii, Iceland).
Volcanoes can form at convergent boundaries, divergent boundaries, and at hot spots away from any plate boundary.
