No. the british mile is a kilometer. It is art of the metric system. a mile is running 14 football field straight across. A kilometer is running9 football fields long. Another answer. The British mile is not a kilometer. A kilometer being a metric measurement is only 5/8th of a mile. There is no difference between an British and an American mile, both are 1760 yards. So, miles are the same, the confusion comes with with gallons. A british gallon is 4.5 litres and an American gallon is 3.8 litres
