For those who want to become UK citizen by naturalisation, if not married to a British citizen, the following is the procedure.For such persons, the requirements are:-
five years legal residence in the UK
indefinite leave to remain or equivalent must have been held for 12 months
the applicant must intend to continue to live in the UK or work overseas for the UK government or a British corporation or association.
the same language and knowledge of life in the UK standards apply as for those married to British citizens
All applicants for naturalisation must be of "good character". Naturalisation is at the discretion of the relevant authority but is normally granted if the requirements are met.

If you have lived in UK for 5 years -yes ,or if you have been married to a UK citizen for three years -yes.
But why?? what are the benefits?? If you are an EU citizen surely there is not that much difference or do you have more restrictions than UK citizens??

Why would you want to do that ? as an E.U. member you are free to work anywhere in the E.U. why don't you try another country for citizenship there's plenty to choose from.
Also once you become a British Citizen you could well face being called up to fight for Britain,as i feel it wont be long before conscription is implemented in this country as we are running short of solders !

Why would you want one? If you are an EU citizen you don't need it, you have freedom of movement in the EU as it is.
