Britain started work on an atomic bomb before the Manhattan Project got underway. All research was transferred to the US, due to that country's industrial capacity (and remoteness from Axis bombers) so essentially Britain "had the bomb" at the same time the US did. The first purely British bomb wasn't exploded until 1952, however.
