Where is your starting point?

England is part of the British Isles. England, Scotland and Wales are all on one island, so you can drive between them. The other part of Britain is Ireland and it's on another island, so you can't drive from there. In 1994 they opened up a tunnel under the English Channel that connects England to France, so you can drive to England from any country that connects to France. Unfortunately, you can't get to the European Continent where France is from the USA by driving either, so you'll need an airplane or boat.

It depends from where. You can drive to England from Scotland and Wales, as they share a land border. However, you can't from Northern Ireland, Ireland, or anywhere else without an intermediate step, like driving onto a ferry or the Eurostar. There is a tunnel between France and Great Britain, but you can't drive through it as it's a train tunnel (which is serviced by Eurostar, which I've already mentioned), to all of those who suggested you could drive from France. Unless you count driving onto the train, and then driving off of it when you get to the other end, but you're not really driving then, are you? Unless of course, you're driving the train (as already mentioned), or a boat, but most of us can't do that.

Yep. You can't drive the whole way and will of course need to get a car ferry (or channel tunnel) into England itself.
There are tonnes of entry ports of entry that come from various different places in Europe. Some of the more popular routes are channel tunnel from Calais to Folkestone (this is the quickest route but quite pricey), Calais to Dover (quickest ferry route but Dunkirk to Dover is a little cheaper and not that much longer), Dublin to Holyhead (although Holyhead is in the middle of nowhere), various Spanish ports (eg Bilboa) to Portsmouth, the Hook of Holland to Harwich.

No you cannot literally drive to England from Europe, but people regularly take their cars. They do this by taking them on car ferries that cross the English channel from France, or by driving their car onto trains which then go on the channel tunnel from France to England.
You cannot personally drive your car through the 'chunnel', you must put it on a train which takes you through.

Yes, from France you can. There is an underocean tunnel going under the English channel. People call it the "Chunnel".

From some places, yes.Not from where I am. You could put your car on a ship, sit in the driver's seat and think that you are driving.
