Nah, driving distance is generally miles and speed is mph too. I think sometimes distances under a mile can be in metres (like signs that say, for example, no hard shoulder for 200m).
If you read the Highway Code, you’ll learn that it’s all over the place. Long distances on signs are in miles. But distance markers are placed in metres. But emergency phones are placed every mile. And distance markers, which are placed in metres and indicate distances in meters can also have a distance to the next emergency phone in fucking yards. One sign, two numbers, no letters, two systems. FUCKING HELL!!!
For some reason I think, driving distance is kilometers, while driving speed is miles per hour. Is that right?

At least when I was there circa 2006, distances were miles as well.
