Yes, you would acquire a slight british accent, but you wouldn't loose your american accent either, you would more or less have a combination of the both.
I'd say it would take at least a year or more.

theres no such thing as a british accent, or a english accent, there is hundreds of different accents all over the uk. i live in the south of england and have a southern accent but people who live in london which is only 60 miles away have a totally different accent

It really depends on the upbringing of the person. I moved around as a kid, my Father worked for a company that transferred a lot. Because of that I never really got an accent. Since then I joined the military and again have been moving ever since...no accent.
P.S. Julie B, they speak English in Great Britain!!! Here's your sign!

My aunt moved to Washington state several years ago and no longer has any trace of a Texas accent so I imagine the same thing would happen where ever a person moves to. One just picks up the local dialect without thinking about it is my guess.

what the fudge is a british accent!!! You may start to get a slight English accent, but there is no such thing as a british accent.

Maybe. When I went to boot camp in another State I developed their accent in about a month.

Might take a while, but these things can rub off on you quicker. I went to Jersey for vacation and was talking strangely for a couple weeks afterwards.
