That is a very broad question. For most of British history, the king or queen has been the most powerful figure.
Here is a list of all the royal leaders of England, Scotland and the United Kingdom:

In recent times, the Prime Minister has been the central political figure in the United Kingdom. Here is a list of British Prime Ministers:

Historically, England has been lead by Kings and Queens and to some extent still is. England, or more particularly, the United Kingdom, is today a constitutional monarchy. The real power however, rests in the hands of the members of the House of Commons and Parliament.

Could you be more specific as to what period of English history? Alfred (the Great), King of the West Saxons, was an English leader circa 849 - 899 CE.

There's quite a lot of English history so you'll need to be a bit more specific
