If you're are talking about buying alcohol in a pub or from a shop, then it is usually 18, but younger if you having beer or cider with a meal.
But drinking at home - legal from 5 years old.

You have to be an adult - that means 18 or over to buy and drink alcohol* in pubs/bars etc, but you can legally drink in private at any age over 5.
*under 16 may consume alcohol bought by a parent or guardian
a restaurant etc with a meal and at the licensee's discretion
*16 and over may purchase beer, porter, cider, or perry with a meal in an eating area on licensed premises (In Scotland wine also)

"limit" or "age"?? The age is 18. I think - but am not sure - in parts of the U.K. it is 16 for beer and wine in restaurants when accompanied by parents or guardians. As for "limit" I assume England has typical laws forbidding the serving of [more] alcoholic drinks to those who are obviously intoxicated.

I don't think there is a legal drinking age in England. I went when I was fifteen and my sister was thirteen and we both drank beer with our dad. I think you can drink, at most any age, as long as you're with a responsible adult.
