Since the world is a sphere (shaped like a ball), it has no sides, and no west or east.

By convention, however, a line has been defined that's called the Prime Meridian.

It joins the north and south pole and passes through a carefully defined point

between them. Half of the Earth to the east of the line is the Eastern Hemisphere,

and the other half is the Western Hemisphere.

Now, to answer your question:

That special point that the Prime Meridian passes through is in Greenwich, a suburb

of London, England, Britain, UK. So the most correct, technical answer to the question

is that there are parts of Britain on each side of the line, so Britain is in both the eastern

and western hemispheres.
