Actually even within the UK, each country has their own rules at time so it was just fine for you to ask a question with regards to England.
In England:
It is an offence to intentionally engage in sexual touching with a young person aged 13, 14 or 15. ‘Touching’ covers all physical contact, including touching with any part of the body, with anything else and through anything, for example, through clothing. It includes penetration.
A person aged 18 or over is liable to up to 14 years imprisonment for this offence. A person under the age of 18 is liable to up to 5 years imprisonment. A person may claim in their defence that they believed the young person to be over 16.
Intentional sexual touching of a young person under 13 is an absolute offence. This means there can be no defence in such a case that it was believed the person was over 16. Sexual touching which involves penetration of the vagina, anus or mouth by the penis or penetration of the vagina or anus with a part of the body or any object is punishable by up to life imprisonment. Sexual touching not involving penetration is punishable by up to 14 years imprisonment.

For a flippin start its not (just) called england, But
BRITAIN; And in ur case Great Britain.
And i think you must be day-or-just-dreaming.
Dont be daft,as the COMMON saying is frequently said
in the European country of Britain;id wager 10,000 pounds
or approx 20,000 dollars that your question has a NO answer.
(And u r mistaken,Queen L, for as far as im aware,
Scorland,Wales and Nothern Ireland ARE NOT SEPARATE
COUNTRIES. Sorry for being "pedantic" and sticking-
to-the-facts(even if they are european ones!!!).
