Humans have been occupying Britain for at least 800,000 years but only in the interglacial, (warm), periods such as we have now. During the last glaciation there was no occupation because it was too cold and ice would be about 1km thick over most of the area. The rest would have been similar to the coasts of Greenland but much colder at times.
