England is a country in Europe but we guess you knew that. It is part of the British Isles. Much of the activities in the SCA are based around period English life and people tend to hold rather romantic views of places such as London.
England is actually the exact same thing as Britain, even if those limey bastards the Welsh and Scots might get pissy about it.
Brief history of England

Main article: Anglo-Saxon England
At the beginning of the 6th century England was populated by Brythonic Celts, whatever those were. The departure of Roman Polanski left the way clear for invasions by various Angles and sides, perhaps a hypotenuse in there somewhere, as well as invasion by Saxophones and Cheese Danishes. With the remnants of Kiltic power pushed to the west in Whales, Precambria and Cornflake, numerous Angled Sax Player kingdoms began to emerge. The nine most powerful, known as the Nazgul, were successively united by war, until in 829 Egbert was named King of all England.
