Unless you count 1688 when the Dutch did it (with English blessing - just don't tell the Scots or Irish)
-------
Also I just noticed this is filed under Rome.
In that case - The southern Britons were already pretty heavily Romanised so didn't care that much and like a lot of territories they were simply outclassed by the Roman Legions, also they never got their act together and combined so the Romans could pretty much just take on piecemeal any forces prepared to fight them.
That said it got harder the further north and West the Romans went, they never really got a firm grip much further north than the Scottish Central Belt and even that slipped down into what is now northern England after a while. Mean while the Welsh (technically the Britons) clobbered them a few times until the Romans killed off most of the druids and generally did a spot of "pacifying". The whole country did still rise in rebellion a few times too.

Why did the Romans want to invade Britain?
Rome had been actively trading with the Britons since the time of Julius Cesar. Recently coins have been found dated from 50 years before the famous 43 AD "invasion" which proves that at least part of Britain was familiar to the Romans. Rome also had a treaty with the southern tribes of Britain and sent troops initially to help one of their allies. Britain also had tin and silver resources in addition to timber that Rome eyed. However the most pressing reason for Rome to invade Britain was to boost the image of Claudius. Remember Rome was a militaristic society. Their leader had to have had military experience of some type in order to be credible. Claudius had none. The easy takeover of Britain was ideal to prove to the home folks that their present Caesar was capable of invading a territory and annexing it as a province.
