Why has Britain had so many earthquakes?

Most parts of the world have small earthquakes every few days, small enough not to be noticed by people in general, only by instruments. Britain is fortunate that it generally has few earthquakes that cause damage, unlike places such as Pakistan and California that have had devastating earthquakes during the last 100 years or so.
